Bittner Cozy N881BB visits

We like to joke that Cincinnati is halfway to anywhere, but it does give us more opportunity to host folks on their travels than a lot of other folks would get to do. Today was Bob Bittner and his friend Matt’s chance, on their way back from Myrtle Beach, SC for the weekend. There were […]
