Local connection to Ozzy.

In 1982, his bus broke down and his band had to spend the night in Leesburg at Flying Baron Estates. The property was owned by the company that owned the tour bus.

The next morning, the tour bus driver (who was a private pilot) took a single-engine plane up and gave some band members a ride.

Unfortunately, the plane crashed killing everyone aboard including guitarist Randy Rhoads.

Rhoads was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.
