You know it’s a shame that that Dayton and the state of Ohio dosen’t do more to promote Aviation. We took two airplanes to San Antonio last week for the 100th Anniversary of the 1st military flight. And we had little to no coverage by the area newspaper or TV stations. There more intent on violance or our wantabe President. San Antonio open its door to us and made sure we had a super time while we were there. We never come close to that in the Dayton area. Dayto better wake up, there is a lot of aviation history here that they should be proud of and promote it better than they have in the past.
