Kansas City, or the "Paris of the Plains" as it is being called here, has set up a booth featuring a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Here you can see Colorado Senator Wayne Allard enjoying the photo-op.
After the opening ceremony, the senators moved on to the the Honeywell exhibition space to check out that company's 3-D Flight Deck. Here we see Senators Mikulski, Allard, and Stevens (from right to left) wearing their 3-D glasses in what has to be one of the funniest images of the day.

The flying demonstrations have been underway for about an hour now, and your correspondent is stuck in the press "chalet"--so that's all for now.
