The event is highly subsidized by the Section. If interested, please register at the vtools weblink above.

 

The museum, which is free to the public, is the world’s largest military aviation museum. Here are just a few of the items on view: X-15 rocket plane, U2 and SR-71 spy planes, B-52 B-29 B17 and XB-70 bombers, F-22 F-111 P-51 fighters, Apollo Capsule, Soyuz capsule, as well as the Second Wright Flyer, and ICBMs, cruise missiles, strange prototypes and all of the Presidential Air Force Ones (except Reagan's) etc. All exhibits are located indoors.

The museum opened to the public on May 16, 1923 in Dayton Ohio and has now evolved to its fourth location which includes four buildings, a Missile Gallery, an Air Park and a Memorial Park.
