Exploring Ohio -Some aviation sites (April 6, 2021)

Got more photos on my "Racing with the Wind" blog page, but got out on the motorcycle today and did some exploring. Got the photo at left at the Fairfield Mall in Beavercreek, Ohio. The plane on display in there is a replica of the Model-B which was one of their most successful planes. Actually, at a nearby airport they have a replica Model B which for a fee you can take a short hop on. It is certainly on my bucket list. You can see the replica fly on the "Ohio" program of the show "Aerial America".

     

This is inside the mall, the staircase caught my eye. Certainly living down here is interesting with a lot of things to see and do. I do enjoy riding around on the motorcycle or exploring in the car with my wife. 

While I was out today, made a quick stop at the Air Force Museum. There I got a photo of this C-17 on display outside of the museum. I enjoy watching them fly, some of the C-17's are based here. They often fly right over my house. The museum is a great treasure and I often visit which you can see by a number of photos and posts about it on this page. Outside are some replica and actual World War Two aviation buildings. The building below as the sign says is one of the actual ones.   

Last two photos are of the Wright Brothers Memorial not far from the museum. Wilbur had died of Typhoid before it was built, but Orville attended the dedication. I also got a photo of a  runway on the base, nearby is Huffman Prairie where the Wright Brothers perfected the airplane they designed (and yes, I have been there). Finally, the last photo is of Huffman Dam. One of the many dams built after the great Dayton floods. Thank you for visiting my page.
