a fun cleveland air races story, circa 1930's........ my dad who just past at 92 in october told a very funny story a number of times over the years re: sneaking in for free to the event with a buddy. they crawled through a drain culvert or pipe, & came up on the field while a demo team was dropping flour bombs on the field in their vicinity.
