I almost landed at LNN, as I was headed west along the Lake Erie shorline
when a rolling wall of CB boxed me in and sent me high tailing back to the
east for cover... Blocked out at Elyria I was headed for Lost Nation until
the controller at Cleveland-Hopkins got all exercised because I was already
in his airspace by the time he got around to putting his coffee down and
answering a radio call that wasn't from Mega Air Cattle Lines... After he
got done whining about the sanctity of his B I was able to see a triple
seven on final so I mentioned I wouldn't mind landing there... He whined a
bit more but cleared me in... Sleeping in the lounge at the Jet Center was
a lot better than sleeping on the floor at LNN...

Hi,

Recently, posted:
(largely snipped)

Wandered around a little bit, discovered they were on the grounds of
the Lost Nation (LNN) airport, in the grass.

Unless this accident was 40 years ago or more, either you were damn lucky,
or just plain nuts. If LNN was dark, I'd have opted for the well-lit
freeway about a mile off the south side or at worst the 4-lane road (Lost
Nation Road) that runs straight for a couple of miles directly adjacent to
the airport, rather than risk the patches of trees, parked planes, and
buildings on the field or the nearby residences.

Regards,

Neil
