First Of The Summer's Monthly Events To Be Held June 12
There are a lot of business aspects to flying, but let's be
honest: most of us started flying because it's just a whole heck of
a lot of fun. With that in mind, Lee Bottom Flying Field (64I) in
southern Indiana is bringing back its popular "Sinful Sundays"
beginning in the middle of June. On their blog "NORDO News," Rich
and Ginger Davidson say that each of the Sinful Sunday events last
year attracted at least 100 visiting aircraft.
"(W)eather permitting, food will be available from 12-2 with the
ice creams treats running from 12-3 or until we run out," the
Davidsons write on the blog. "The feature shakes and sundaes will
be strawberry but other flavors will be available. If you
have never been to a Sinful Sunday, you are missing out on some
great fun. If you have been to a Sinful Sunday then you know
exactly how much fun, relaxing, and filled with aviation they
are. Either way, we hope you are able to make it."
Originally started in 2004 as a destination for local pilots to
attend after church on Sunday, the monthly events have drawn pilots
and planes from further away over the past couple of years.

Scheduled for the 2nd Sunday of every month (no rain date)
during the months of June, July, and August, and each features a
"sinful" dessert. "There might be Hot Fudge Sundaes, Shakes, Sodas,
or whatever else strikes our fancy," according to the Lee Bottom
website. "These events are very relaxed in nature and were created
with the intention of giving you a place to go for a Sunday
afternoon flight."
Rich and Ginger say they have also found that if you mention
"ice cream," it is usually easy to entice someone else to go with
you. We don't doubt that's the case.
