Wright Patterson Airforce Museum
 

How about the Airforce Museum in Dayton, Oh. It is the largest air museum in the east. They have every aircraft you can think of, from the Wright Brothers to B-52, SR-71, all experamentals. It would take you 3 days to see it all. They have shops for the wifes & even a picnic area outside for the wife & kids. I flew into Green Co. airport about 10 minutes away. they have a nice little airport & very nice to work with. Call ahead for car or they will get you one in only 10 min. if you don't call. Great place to meet.

Good idea for the "guys"
my wife would say "enjoy yourself", mind you, she had a ball in NYC last week (perk... +1.5 points). still not enough to get her to Dayton. Too bad they didn't have an outlet mall on the premises. Would attract a lot more visitors.......

honestly, I would end up coming alone....

Bob

Been wanting an excuse to go to Dayton to see the airplanes. So what's so bad about going alone???

Dayton
 

Don

Nothing.

I can get away, after 33 yrs it's easy!............................
pick a date, better yet meet in OSH.

Bob

33 years?? Me, too. I didn't think you were that old!!

recalc
 

Actually 34.5 yrs.
let's seel who else is interested.
bob

Dayton, are you serious?
 

C'mon fellas!! We gotta do better than that. I grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and you're just going to have to trust me, nothing good can come from Dayton. We'd probably have to go to a grocery store at night to get an "exotic" beer like Miller Lite.

Alright, I'll give ya that seeing the planes would be cool . . . but didn't someone say something about an ISLAND?

Island, schmiland. (?)

Well, I would have to admit that I don't really care where we meet and therefore anyplace is fine with me. But you have to remember that as far as islands go I'm building a house on one so in and of itself an island rendevous isn't exactly a big attraction. Now seeing the planes in Dayton, well, that's an attraction. But wherever the group wants to meet is ok by me. Just let me know far enough in advance. It's tough resetting all those court dates.

Been to both--will go again!
 

I been to both Mackinaw and Dayton several times and will go to both again. However, to get together as a group, Mackinaw will be my choice. Reason, when you go to Dayton, with the exception of one day a year, you can not land at the air force base and the closest airport is Springfield. Must rent car and drive about 20 minutes.

Bob and Don. You guys are youngsters! 40 years for me this September, and a great 40 it has been.
Cheers

40 yrs HUH? You just started early......

Re Makinaw, I left you some dates. Suggest fly in sat and out sun. Need to book hotels if ur going to stay on the island otherwise Makinaw City would be closest alternative. We used to boat to Makinaw and hit the island when the race was on. Party.... for sure.

Don't recommend the race weekend which is end of July (thats OSH weekend anyway.

So pick a date guys and bring out wives...
