Lee Bottom Airport (FAA 64I) is a privately owned, public-use turf field about six miles south of Hanover, Indiana, on the Ohio River bottom. FAA records put the owner at 7296 South River Bottom Road, Hanover, IN 47243, with Rich and Ginger Davidson as managers and the phone 812-866-3211. It is a daylight grass strip for light aircraft, not a corporate-jet FBO. If that is truly where the airplane will be, Veteran Executive Transportation can meet it. Call (502) 835-2838, and we will quote it as the rural charter it is.
What we verified, and what we will not invent
AirNav and the FAA airport record show a public-use airport with a turf runway, no tower, and attendance during daylight. We did not find a staffed FBO, a fuel listing, or a passenger lounge comparable to Atlantic or Louisville Executive Aviation. There is no IATA code and no ICAO code on the record we checked. Anyone selling a “Lee Bottom FBO lobby” is describing a building that is not in those sources.
The pickup is whatever spot the pilot and the manager agree a car may wait: the entrance on South River Bottom Road, or a point beside the hangars that does not put the vehicle on the turf. We do not drive onto the runway environment. The passenger or the pilot has to be specific, because a pin in the middle of the field is not a door.
Who actually lands here
This field is for small airplanes and fly-ins, including antique and recreational aircraft that prefer grass. A Gulfstream or a large charter is the wrong airplane for this runway, and we will ask you to confirm the airport code before we take the booking. Madison Regional Airport (IMS), a few miles north, is the paved field with a terminal when the trip is a cabin-class airplane visiting historic Madison.
Hanover is the nearby town, about six miles north of the field. Madison’s historic district is a longer rural drive up out of the river bottom. Louisville is not a short hop from here; it is an I-64 or river-road charter, and the quote should reflect that. If the day includes a wedding in Madison or a hotel in Louisville, those addresses go on the quote with the airport, not instead of it.
Vehicle and timing
An SUV is the right car for a light-aircraft load of a few people and soft bags. The 14-passenger shuttle makes sense only when several airplanes or a real group are meeting at the field. A stretch limousine or a party bus is an unusual request on a grass-strip lane, and we will only confirm it if the road and the waiting spot can take it. There is no advantage to over-sending a vehicle that cannot turn around.
Daylight attendance means we want the arrival time in local daylight, with a phone for the pilot. There is no flight-tracking magic that creates a lit terminal after dark. Send the tail number anyway so we can watch the inbound while it is airborne. If the plan slips toward sunset, call (502) 835-2838 before the car is already on River Bottom Road.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Lee Bottom have an FBO?
Not one we could verify. It is a public-use turf airport at 7296 South River Bottom Road, Hanover, IN 47243. The meetup is a spot the pilot names, not a chain-FBO lobby.
Can you pick up a private jet here?
This is a grass strip for light aircraft. If the airplane is a jet or a large turboprop, confirm the code. Madison Regional (IMS) is the nearby paved airport with a terminal.
Is this a quick ride from Louisville?
No. Lee Bottom is a rural Ohio River field south of Hanover. A Louisville transfer is a charter with real drive time, and the quote should show that before you deposit.
Where does the chauffeur wait?
At the entrance or the off-runway spot you and the airport agree on. We do not drive onto the turf. Send a phone number that works when the airplane is in the pattern.
