Chuck Lee submitted this photo and note: “Returning home to Indiana from an International Comanche Society fly-in in western Wisconsin, weather forced my wife and I to fly east to Milwaukee, then south along the Lake Michigan shore line, then under O’Hare’s TCA. Those of us a certain age will understand the photo title. All others go to iTunes songs for Lake Shore Drive by Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah. There is no better way to slip on by on LSD than in our Comanche.”
