[Leica] IMG: Two for Bonnaroo

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Douglas,

Yes, these are fans, here for the shows.  There have been chartered jets 
in and out all weekend.  We have no scheduled airline service, so, 
perhaps that is the reason that our airport is not listed.

A number of the bands and groups have, in past years, flown in for their 
performance, been chauffeured for the twenty minute drive to Bonnaroo, 
then back to the airport for a flight to their next performance 
location.  The heat has been too great this year for me to stay around 
the airport to see them all.  And a lot of them come in and out in the 
evening.  Charter jets are a way of life for them.
