    Dayton,OH Sightseeing National Museum of the U.S. Air Force A “MUST SEE!” in Dayton, the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force is the world’s largest and oldest military aviation museum and Ohio’s most visited FREE tourist attraction with nearly 1.3 million annual visitors. This world-renowned museum features more than 360 aerospace vehicles and missiles and thousands of artifacts amid more than 17 acres of indoor exhibit space. Exhibits are arranged chronologically so it’s easy to visit the areas that interest you most. Examine a Wright Brothers plane, sit in a jet cockpit, walk through a NASA shuttle crew compartment trainer, or stand in awe of the world’s only permanent public display of a B-2 stealth bomber. Feeling adventurous? Check out the Morphis Movie Simulator Ride, a computer controlled simulator for the entire family. Capable of accommodating 12 passengers, the capsule rotates and gyrates on hydraulic lifts, giving the passengers the sensation of actually flying along. Dramamine may be required. Or, take in one of the multiple daily movies at the Air Force Museum Theatre’s new state-of-the-art D3D Cinema showing a wide range of films on a massive 80 foot by 60 foot screen. Satisfy your hunger at the Museum’s cafeteria (where you can even try out freeze-dried ‘astronaut ice cream!’), or shop for one-of-a-kind aviation gifts in the Museum’s impressive gift shop. And, just when you didn’t think it couldn’t happen, the best is getting even better! In 2016 a new fourth hangar will open.

  • Weekend Fly-In: Dayton, OH (KMGY) August 25‐28, 2016
    Weekend Fly-In: Dayton, OH (KMGY) August 25‐28, 2016 Watch out! SEBS will exceed the limits of our southern boundaries and invade the Midwest region! After multiple requests, we will head back to Dayton, OH, the Birthplace of Aviation! Our last visit was in 2005 and much has happened since then including the National Museum of the US Air Force opening a new fourth hangar this June! We will visit the National Museum of the US Air Force as well as four of the five National Historic Landmarks within the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park including the Wright Cycle Company building, Hoover Block, Huffman Prairie Flying Field, 1905 Wright Flyer III, and Hawthorn Hill! Since we are going out of bounds, we are also changing logistics! The most important change is that we are hiring a charter bus for transportation (no 15 passenger vans). Also, with this fly‐in being in the summer and most attendees historically arriving early to beat afternoon buildups and thunderstorms, we are planning Thursday activities which are optional. For Thursday arrivals, there will be three bus shuttles from the airport to the hotel occurring at 11:30 am, 1:00 pm, and 5:00 pm. For those of you that want to participate in the Thursday activities, you should plan to arrive in time to secure your aircraft and catch the 1:00 pm shuttle. For any early arrivals prior to Thursday, we will have a bus that will depart the hotel at 10:30 am for the airport, so that you can tour the Wright “B” Flyer hangar and museum (see below).
