They've upgraded their waiting area and their TSA and thanks to the three direct flights we have now to Houston and Denver and Chicago, there's been more foot traffic and they've done a really nice job. It gives a really good first impression to individuals that are coming to Salina from outside the area. If you get a chance, if you haven't flown out of here, you should. It's nice, free parking, and…
