Wild blue yonder

After our adventures in Kentucky, we made our way north to Ohio, then Indiana and Michigan.


Currently, we're back in Ohio, following Lake Erie towards New York. We've done a lot of driving and seen some interesting things, but I'll tell you about our stop in Dayton, Ohio.
On Monday, we spent about six and a half hours in the Air Force Museum, so it's safe to say that we all enjoyed it. The museum itself is about three large hangars, side by side, with additional buildings on either side. In said hangars, there are planes and history from the beginning of flight all the way to the space program. 'Wicked awesome' is a set phrase I would use to describe this place.


By far, one of my favorite 'periods' was the World War II portion of the hangar, where they had bombers and fighters from the greatest generation. Including a P-51 Mustang and some Japanese planes.


Austin really enjoyed the bomber jackets (as did I) and Ben was entranced by the engines (and guns!). Another thing that was exciting for me was getting to see some of the planes that my grandpa, who was in the Army Air Corps (later the Air Force), flew.


It would be very difficult to include all hundred something pictures that I took, so these will have to do. If you like history, airplanes, cool jackets, shiny things or any combination of these things, you should totally visit Dayton and check out the Air Force Museum.
