Fairborn Halloween Festival (October 18-20, 2019)

Great time at this event. There was no admission charge. You just had to pay for beer (which had an area to drink it outside of the serving area, and great beer at that). There were bands (and again, fine ones). There was a parade Friday which was cool, and the Zombie walk was Saturday, though I missed that. It was an outstanding couple of days and a great time was had by everyone as far as I could tell. I would go back to this festival again and will do so next year for sure!

Niagara Falls (October 13-15, 2019)

 First time trip to Niagara Falls, and it was in a word, remarkable! Took the photo at left on the first night there. I liked the colored light shining on the falls. Took these from the American side. Below is some of the water heading down to the falls. I took some morning photos which is the last two. The rainbow in the next to last photo was a bonus. It was a fun area to wander around with the casino nearby and some really fun restaurants in the area. My wife and I visited the Rainforest Cafe and though we did not eat there there is also a Hard Rock Cafe as well as an Anchor Bar. Would I return to this area? Oh hell yeah I would! It was a wonderful time and a very interesting place! 

National Museum of the United States Air Force (October 10, 2019)

One of my favorite places (if not the favorite) to visit here in the Dayton Ohio area is the National Museum of the United States Air Force. It is one of the best that I have ever seen, and I have seen a few in my years. Course, got something new coming up in a few weeks, and so will be featuring that soon. There is a great deal of aircraft and spacecraft to be seen there, as well as thousands of other items in the five buildings that make up the museum. Admission is free just be sure to have a lot of time to see it all (if that is possible in one day). I have some more photos on my "Racing with the Wind" motorcycle page also on this date. 

Festival of Flight Motorcycle Show (October 5, 2019)

 Final event my wife and I attended was the Festival of Flight Motorcycle Show. There were some amazing classic and custom motorcycles there, these are only a few of the many that was there. This is a new event of to the festival, this being its third year.
Being a motorcyclist myself, it was fun to wander with the people there, and to see these amazing machines. The Festival of Flight was remarkable and will be attending this again next year!!

Festival of Flight Parade (October 5, 2019)

At 11am on October 5 the Festival of Flight parade kicked off in New Carlisle, Ohio. Unique among the parades I have seen in that they had some 20 aircraft towed down the streets of the city. They also had the usual marching bands and other such parade features. The planes though were both amazing and amazingly unique.
I have to say it was one of the best parades I have ever seen. Of course, as I am sort of an aircraft manic...well, go figure! 

Festival of Flight Car Show (October 4, 2019)

First time to this event which was held at New Carlisle, Ohio. Had a great time with my wife Debbie as we explored the cars on display. This free event had over 900 cars which was pretty remarkable. We wandered around quite a while checking out the vehicles and the people there .
This is a three day event and on the next day there are a couple of events that we want to see, the parade in the morning, and the motorcycle show in the afternoon/evening.
