These folks are trying to rebuild something that thousands have enjoyed so why not give this a shot? It is ONE day. I grew up not far from Madison and no one ever thought a tornado could do that kind of damage along a deep rever bottom. Have never seen it before. So give them a break and just go away. (P.s. and regarding your Obama comment, I am a defiant member of neither party (Totally Disenfranchhised, I call it)and yes, "O" and the Democrats have been shameful in their spending. Having said that, there have been NO greater feeders at the welfare trough than American business, especially big business, largely driven by the Republicans -- and don't forget farm price supports and mortgage interest deductions and the Corps of Engineers, among 100 others -- everyone wants to keep their own government deal and cancel overyone elses' -- it just happens to be fashionable of late to beat up on the less fortunate among us. Give it a break. I say this as a businessman of nearly 40 years.Sorry to continue the political stuff, which should have nothing to do with this, but I am just sick of the one-sided perspective -- from both sides.)Scott Sedamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272938885495691863.post-38341399954139737882012-07-25T09:06:13.341-04:002012-07-25T09:06:13.341-04:00From Justin,

Put your money where you mouth is and buy Lee Bottom Flying Field ("Sell it") if you think it is a money making venture. This GA is not the Davidson's livelihood! Reread that! Having volunteered past 8 years I often wondered why they threw a big party at their expense for pilots. Besides where's your compassionate side? This is a benefit/ fund raiser due to a MAJOR TORNADO that hit S.Indiana declared NATIONAL DISASTER (By the PRES) WITH FEMA (WHATEVER THAT IS) that affected the Davidsons heavily for which they recd tetnus shots ONLY, from taxpayers money. This is not the only catostrophy they have endured to entertain pilots--Hurricane, Mudslide, hail damage for starts, and the rainout that left them in the hole. Give till it hurts for a worthy cause whether you CHOOSE the $100 hamburger or give your money away to politicians (at $1000 and up per plate who live in monstrous houses) P.S. DAVIDSON'S never had a bathtub or oven in their one bedroom "house" BEFORE TORNADO HIT. You decide who you want to help AND WHICH ONE "YOU" WILL PERSONALLY BENEFIT FROM.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272938885495691863.post-5735094575846804412012-07-22T17:18:27.643-04:002012-07-22T17:18:27.643-04:00I also think Rich was being polite to 'Mr. A&#...I also think Rich was being polite to 'Mr. A'. I remember Rich purchasing a farm to extend the runway several years back and also purchasing another adjoining piece of property recently to add a sea plane lane. I am pretty sure he used his own 'hard earned money' to do this – just as he does to put on all the events we all enjoy. <br /><br />I know that when I purchase 100LL for my tube and fabric plane, a portion of it goes to support the government subsidized concrete runway airports but I prefer grass. What use is an old plane without an airport to enjoy it at? Pretty soon, they will all be gone and then we'll all be complaining. So, if I can buy a $100 burger to help out and keep the land from being planted in corn, I'm in.<br /><br />And, I'm not sure if ‘Mr. BM’ is the same as ‘Mr. A’ but it sounded to me like this special one time deal is being put on by 'Friends of Lee Bottom' to help him out. So, those that can attend will and those that can't won't. Maybe those that can will make enough $$$ to be able to re-purchase all the needed equipment and make the repairs so Rich can have events again next year??? I hope so. <br /><br />On 2nd thought, I’m going to make by burger a double. Super size that order please!<br /><br />Don L.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272938885495691863.post-4752958197548437252012-07-20T16:07:12.999-04:002012-07-20T16:07:12.999-04:00You know...the old saying is "somebody has to...You know...the old saying is "somebody has to do it".<br />Well...Rich & Ginger "do it" for all of us out here that enjoy GA in one form or another.

But like in politics, if you want a better candidate or in this case a truly friendly old time flying field to stay open to people like you, then surely you understand wethat must campaign for the funds to beat out the others. If you do not like fields lime ours so be it. We all have our interests. But if you do like places like ours, the least you could do is state who you are like a respectable person would do, then give to you local flying field if any still exist in your area that are open to the public.Rich Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11594451963540379003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5272938885495691863.post-465307880151168792012-07-19T20:54:36.729-04:002012-07-19T20:54:36.729-04:00You all can count me out !
