Pilot recalls first flight in revisiting Nelsonville
Robert F. Shank, then a novice pilot, visited Nelsonville in 1916 for a local air show arranged by Elks. His Stupor aircraft faced heat from brick kilns on the field, causing a near crash before a second flight avoided the heat and flew successfully. Shank later built several airports including the Indianapolis air port.
