We got up and Jim bought us breakfast at a Bob Evans Restaurant. We left Camping World and drove to Ohio. When we got to Dayton we stopped to visit the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park. This included the Wright Cycle Shop, Huffman Prairie Flying Field Visitor Center and the Wright Memorial. Huffman Prairie was where Orville and Wilbur Wright tested and perfected their airplanes. This was after the initial flights they conducted at Kitty Hawk. After that we toured the National Museum of the United States Air Force and National Aviation Hall of Fame. This museum was on the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. This is the Air Force base where the UFO that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico was reportedly transported for study along with the bodies of the aliens. The museum had airplanes from every era from WWI to the present. Jim’s favorites were the B-36 and B-52. These two planes were HUGE! We left at closing time and continued to Cambridge, Ohio, where we stayed in the Cracker Barrel parking lot for the night. I cooked and then Jim went in and bought us each a peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream.
