Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Known as the "Birthplace of Aviation", Dayton is a must-visit for anyone who has even the slightest interest in the history of flight. The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force offer the opportunity to gawk at more than 360 missiles and aircraft free of charge, and the Wright Cycle Company complex gives visitors a glimpse at the workshop where Orville and Wilbur first came up with the idea to build a flying machine. If you need a break from learning about aviation, you can visit the Dayton Art Institute, kayak down the river, or stroll through one of the city's beautiful parks.
