    Just a short 1 1/2 hour trip for me. Can't wait to go through the flea market. Make time to go to the Air Force museum.

    Same for me Scott!:D I always like going to a Hudson meet. I'm sorry I missed Doc's meet this year. My parents went,said they had a good time even though the weather wasn't very cooperative. I have been thru Dayton many,many times and I have never been to the W/P-AF museum,and I am looking forward to that.:cool:

    All who expect to go to the AF museum. PLEASE>>>>>>>>> make time there as so many exibits and so much to see. Honestly one could take months doing this place. For those who are COLD WAR era folks... there is a section dedicated to the aircraft of the time. All will find some part that is especially interesting... all of it is to me! Again enjoy the museum it is without a doubt one of the best you will get to see.

    I agree - plan on at least one day for the AF museum. I've been there - but had time constraints, so only had about 3, 4 hours. It's inspiring.

    One thing that stands out in my mind - I was wandering thru one of the hanger exhibits and got the feeling there was something above me. I looked up - all I saw was aluminum (or titanium) whatever they built it out of. It was a B-70 Valkyrie - Lord that thing is HUGE!!! Takes up over 1/2 the hanger as a suspended exhibit.

    I was raised in Dayton, and took many field trips with the school, to the Museum. Haven't been there in 30 years though. When I was a kid, they had a bomber called the "Strawberry *****", We all thought that was scandalous and was the greatest thing ever.
    Later I worked at a wholesale warehouse and made many deliveries to the museum. Also, the first apartment Judy and I had after we got married was in Fairborn about 1/4 mile from the SAC base gate.
    B-52s used to take off and would shake pictures off the walls. Guess that's why the rent was so cheap........LOL!

    I can't remember when the current museum building was built but the old building was in downtown Fairborn. The current building(s) is accessed from Springfield Street near Harshman Road, west of Fairborn.

    I'm going to Dayton on business. I might be able to go early enough to go to meet. Where and when is it?

    Thanks
