Due to bad weather (ice, packed snow with limited to no braking, and small airplanes don’t mix well), he was transported by ground from Elba, AL to Tuscaloosa, AL. Jim Carney picked up the trip in Tuscaloosa, AL and flew Nacho to Covington, TN. There, Tim Winters loaded up the golden boy and flew him to St Louis, MO.
