Sven & Ole sent me an email about a new airline, "Lutran Air", flying from Duluth and serving Minnysota, Visconsin, Nort and Sout Dakota. You're all in da same boat, where flying is a, no frills, uplifting time and dere is no first class.

Meals are potluck. Rows 1-6 bring rolls, 7-15 bring salads, 16-21 bring a main dish, 22-30 bring dessert. You are responsible for your own baggage, all fares are by free will offering and da plane will not land 'till da budget is met.

In da event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure it would be a real surprise since we fly right around 2000 feet. Don't bodar with dem liddle masks on da rubber tubes; you're gonna have bigger tings ta worry about. Yust stuff dem back in da little holes; dey probably fell out from turbulence cuz of da 2000 feet deal which is sort of like driving across a plowed field but after awhile ya get used to it.

In da event of a water landing, I'd say forget it. Start sayin' da Lord's Prayer and hope ya get to da part about forgive us our sins as we forgive dose who sin against us, which some people say,"tresspass", which ain't right,but what can ya do?

Cell phones are forbidden not cause dey confuse da plane's navagation which is seat of da pants all the vay. No, it's cause cell phones are a pain in da wazoo and if God meant you to have a cell phone, He would have put your mout on da side of your head.

Lunch starts about noon, Smorgasbord style, with da coffee pot up front. Den dere's da hymn sing, hymnals in da seat pockets in front of you. Den da Grace, "Come, Lord, be our guest and let deze gifts to us be blessed. Fadar, Son and Holy Ghost, may we land in Dulut or pretty close. Amen".
