Pilots Are Invited To 'Drop In' For Some Ice Cream This Summer

If you happen to be out enjoying some low-and-slow sightseeing in southern Indiana on a Sunday afternoon this summer, and you're hit with a sudden need for some ice cream, you could be in luck if you're anywhere near Lee Bottom Flying Field on the Ohio River.

That's because Sinful Sundays is returning to the airport beginning June 11. Rich Davidson writes on his blog NORDO News that the event it is a critical step in moving forward with the recently announced Lee Bottom Aviation Refuge.

The purpose of the Lee Bottom Aviation Refuge is to protect and preserve vintage flying fields and the aircraft that frequent them for current and future generations.

The first Sinful Sunday will be hosted by the RAF (that's the Recreational Aviation Foundation). Members of their organization, along with other volunteers, will be running the show. Additionally, the entire weekend is part of a string of events for RAF pilots. Therefore, many of the organization's members will be on hand for the entire weekend.

If you have been to Sinful Sundays in previous years, you may expect Ginger's patented Twinkie Sundays. Since she's away for training, you should expect otherwise. In fact, the sinful part of Sinful Sundays will now be up to the host. That too is different.

From here on out, we are going to rely on other groups to host each Sinful Sunday. Those groups will also decide on the sinful part of the event. For the first one, they have chosen Ehrlers Ice Cream.

As usual, I hope you will make your best effort to attend. When we bring in vendors, it is imperative we have a good turnout to insure their return. And be sure to get here early. The time on Sunday is 12-3, or until the ice creams runs out.
