These things always make me crazy. Jeffersonville, what state? And the "mastheads" of electronic newspapers don't say where they're at, either....
Edit: Narrowed it down - without digging into my various databases that I use at work (much more accurate than plain ol' Google!), it's either Kentucky or Indiana....

It's Louisville, KY. See here (http://www.courier-journal.com/section/cust&tab=contact).

Jeffersonville is in Indiana right across the Ohio river from Louisville, KY. I grew up next door in Clarksville.
A picture of the Grand Champion plane would have been nice, too.
