My wife and I flew into the Dayton Airport when F9 flights to Columbus, OH through Kansas City and Milwaukee were full. The Dayton Airport is about one-hour and fifteen minutes from Columbus along Interstate 70. DAY is easy to navigate. I reserved my rental car through Avis ahead of time. From baggage claim, just walk outside across the curb to the rental car garage. My car was ready to go. Here's the website for the airport: []. The F9 ticket counter people are really nice. The F9 gate is C19, which is close to an adult beverage establishment and also near the Starbucks. Here's some background about Dayton: [].

My college roommate lives in Dayton. On a previous visit, I've gone to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the National Museum of the United States Air Force (Two Websites: [] and [] . This is a free museum with many, many interesting items (if you are into flight) dating from the beginning of flight to space craft. Dayton is also home to the Wright Brothers. There is a National Park called Dayton Aviation Heritage National Park which has four sites that you can visit (Wright-Patterson AFB is one) and learn about the history of flight (Website: [] ) and three individuals who made it happen (Paul Dunbar, Wilbur Wright, and Orville Wright). Here's more information about them: [] . Here's a visitor website to the city: []. I don't remember too many eating esatblishments that we visited except for Dewey's Pizza (Website: [] ), which was quite good with a wide selection of beers.

So, if you're in the area, head to Dayton and visit the above. The way F9 flights are set-up, you'll need to spend one night in the Dayton area. Enjoy! Mike Summers ---

Seats to Dayton were open; so we headed there to visit neighboring Cincinnati and catch a Reds game. It's a one and one-half hour drive from the Dayton Airport to the Cincinnati Riverfront. We went strictly for the game, but here's some websites for attractions in the Cincinnati area: [] and [] and []. We did visit the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum, which is right next to the ballpark (Website: [] and [] ). Cincy's on Sixth had a great happy hour and food specials (Website: [] ). Also in downtown is Arnold's Bar and Grill (Website: [] ), which calls itself the oldest tavern in Cincinnati. Downtown Cincy is pretty vibrant. People seem to like to get out and have fun -- like Denver. Here's a website for downtown Cincinnati: []. Give Cincinnati a try sometime!

====I went to Dayton the visit my son Darian who is in the Air Force. 1st time I traveled in almost a year. We went to the National Museum of the United States Air Force it was awesome. It is in what looks like 3 hangers, so all the planes are inside. It is separated into 6 different eras. Early years, World War II, Korean War, southeast Asia, cold war & missile and space. I would highly recommend anyone visiting Dayton put this museum on their must visit list. We also visited the Greene town center it is similar to the Orchard town center in Westminster. The Bob Evans restaurants are good (make you gain weight) restaurants. I could not find any public transportation to/from the airport. I wanted to take the afternoon flight back and my son had to work Monday. So I ended up on the early 6am flight agh! ==== ---
