We spent a
full week in Dayton, staying at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base
FamCamp. It took us four days, or over
16 hours to see the National Museum of the Air Force. There are four very large hangers filled with
aircraft, artifacts, and personal stories from the early days of aviation up to
and including the space program. The
museum has an Imax Theatre with three different shows although we only watched
one. It is an unbelievable collection
and we strongly recommend it to everyone.
Check out their website at www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/virtualtour/index.asp
We visited the Dayton Aviation Heritage National
Historical Park, commemorating the
achievements of the Wright brothers. The
park has several sites, including the Wright Cycle Company where the brothers designed and perfected their flying machine and the Huffman
Prairie Flying field where they continued to refine their designs after returning
from Kitty Hawk, NC.
