I really like the line up of buildings.
If we did that on our layouts we probably would be told it was unrealistic.

That must be a great spot. It's too bad that nearly all of those big old resort hotels failed and were torn down or burned down (not The Summit, it still there in Farmington). Looks like late 1930's or early 1940's vintage.

I've not stayed there but I have at Nemacolin when we wanted to take a few days to get away and also visit Falling Water and the other Frank Lloyd Wright sites in the area.

Having been born, raised and edjucated in that area I haven't visited either of those two fine establishments. However, I will gladly hazard a guess that the Summit would be much, MUCH cheaper than Laurel Highlands. Several years ago the old crowd at Shannon Airport considered fly up to LH for a Sunday brunch. Unfortunately? one pilot made the mistake of getting the prices. Yee Gads!!! We quickly changed our itinerary. Only for the mega-rich.

Sorry to disappoint you Rufus but we aint flying Learjets!

My Fudpucker Airlines, of which I am chief pilot, chief mechanic and all around broom pusher consists of an antique Cessna 120, an experimental homebuilt RV-4 and a homebuilt 2 seat helicopter. None of which carry more than 2 persons and do not exceed 205 mph. One aircraft even has a navigation radio! Real modern stuff!

Does thou not recognize the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!

Consult the Book of Armaments!

Armaments, Chapter Two, Verses Nine to Twenty-One

And Saint Attila raised high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, "Oh Lord, bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ...

Skip a bit, Brother.

And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.'"

Amen

More than I've got by a measure of infinity to none. And, it's just the concept - flying in for brunch.....

She is riding in to meet Tony and see if he will fly away with her.

Doesn't look like she is riding side saddle [or whatever it is called].
She must be one of them Suffragettes.
