Lee Bottom Fly In via Pilots of America Message Board by OH Flier on 9/28/08
Yesterday I made it to the now famous Lee Bottom Fly In, on the Ohio -Indiana border. In late September, for one weekend, this little grass strip becomes the center of the antique, tail dragger, fabric cover aircraft world. It's a casual, camp with your airplane, grass roots event that continues to grow in popularity.
No airshow or military displays. Just a group of people that love old airplanes and work hard to keep them flying. [photos]

Flying Across the English Channel Made Exciting Again
from AviationBull - Where pilots go to shoot the bull... by Jason
When was the last time people got excited about someone flying across the English Channel? There was Louis Bleriot who did it in a 25hp Blériot XI in 1909.
