While Saturday’s 148th running of the Kentucky Derby was a shocking win for 80-1 odds longshot Rich Strike, Atlantic Aviation, which operates the lone FBO at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (KSDF), saw a rich strike of its own due to private aviation traffic being drawn to the event. The service provider said it saw 812 landings at KSDF over the four days bracketing the race.
