Air Force Museum

Our last stop before leaving Dayton was the Air Force Museum.

Kim and Adam (who is obviously enthralled) with the Military Flyer of 1909. It was the first military airplane and was built by the Wright brothers.
Paul and Adam with an F16. This is the kind flown by the Air Force's premier airshow jet pilots, the Thunderbirds.
Kim and Adam with a Stealth Bomber. Also notice the size of the hanger. This was one of the four hangers for the museum. It is huge!
Adam's favorite part of the museum were the stairs leading up to the Presidential planes.
Paul and Adam at the back door (Kim taking picture from the front door) of the Air Force One used by Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon. It was also used after Nixon for various dignitaries.

It looks like you have really enjoyed your time in Dayton. I think it is a great place to live--very family friendly. We may actually be moving there in May. Craig was offered a co-op position by the Research Lab where he did his internship this past summer. That means they will pay him to finish his PhD there instead of staying down here. He'll still be a Georgia Tech student, just doing his work up there. We'll see what happens...! =)

Adam is going to have strong leg muscles - all those stairs. What a huge place.
