Carter's flight club was in the 10th district.
Paris East Station was in this district, and Carter believed that planes and trains were both modes of transportation, so setting up the flight club here might bring more business.
The fact was that many people only knew of the existence of planes. They might exclaim in surprise when they saw a plane flying overhead: "Look, there's a big kite."
However, getting them to spend money to fly was another matter; they would rather choose to ride horses.
After the banks showed up at Eric's airplane manufacturing plant, Dejoka immediately realized that Shire might be right... If the airplane manufacturing plant had no business prospects, the banks wouldn't be eager to buy it.
Thus, Dejoka was a bit worried that the flight club might be in the same situation.
"We need to hurry!" Dejoka said. "The bank people might already be negotiating prices at the flight club. That Carter... just hope he is as convinced about you as Eric!"
