Welcome | View of Dayton, OH from the Art Institute |
It's not called the Birthplace of Aviation for nothing. Many sites here are geared towards the Wright Brothers and aviation in general.
It's not too bad for a medium-sized city. I have to admit that without the 'birthplace of aviation' claim to fame, it wouldn't stand out much from any other city of its size.
But it has lots to do for aviation fans and it has a reasonable cost of living for its inhabitants. Also, there are lots of opportunities for higher education. |
|  | Jet noise - the sound of freedom! Because I've always loved jets and airplanes, I'm lucky that I live in Dayton because there are a lot of opportunities to see jets, or maybe even ride in them!
The F-16 is a pretty cool jet. I've had the opportunity to go up for a backseat ride twice. It's just like a really smooth roller coaster ride, except that it flips upside down/right-side up on a dime, crushes you with very strong G forces, and travels at like a billion miles an hour. And it's hard to walk after a one-hour ride, unless of course you're a pilot and you're accustomed to it. |

What a ridiculously RACIST comment. Stay out of the West side, miss the National Park and the Dayton Art Institute. I canvassed these neighborhoods on foot last fall, and I live on the west side, it is not dangerous at all. | 96mike96 Wed Jul 4, 2007 08:51 UTC
The "dark" side, eh? Kind of a racist remark, but, hey, I agree wit ya! I would also avoid the East Side, North Dayton, Brown Street area . . . Salem Avenue and North Main aint exactly the fun areas! | kevanrijn Tue Mar 6, 2007 20:01 UTC
Good tips on Dayton--thanks for mentioning the need for a reservation to tour the various Air Force One planes--DH and I would like to see that and we wouldn't have known about the need to have a reservation. | BluBluBlu Wed Jul 26, 2006 11:05 UTC
