Heading out to the Air Force Museum in Dayton today (lived here 8 years never gone) on a father/son day and taking my 18 month old with me. Under normal circumstances I might try to stay forever and sneak into a plane to never leave, but I'll probably need to limit my trip to 2-3 hours for my son. What are the must see aircraft and any other tips for people who have gone there in the past? Bonus if there are some little kid related items or activities. Also is anyone familiar with aircraft you are allowed to sit in, or is the entire place viewing only?

Diesel doesn't do great at low temperature, and isn't held to standards as stringent as aviation fuels when it comes to war inclusions, impurities and whatnot. I wouldn't recommend it.

It's been a while but IIRC there's an F-4 & F-16 you can sit in plus a WWII bomber (can't remember which one) that you can walk through. They also have a handful of aircraft with a viewing platform built next to the cockpit (some fighter from the late 50s/early 60s and an A-10, maybe others) that you can get a close look at. e: I forgot (mainly because the bus that takes you to the on-base section wasn't running last time I was there thanks to the government shutdown) they also have four presidential aircraft that are open to the public.

I remember as a kid being at Sky Harbor when they scrambled the entire ANG wing of KC-135's, stopping all of the civilian traffic as 6 (if my small kid memory is right) of these took off, one right after the other, so close together that they were starting the takeoff roll before the previous one had rotated. It was glorious, but I have no idea how the 4th-6th pilots could tell where the runway was there was so much black smoke. And the noise..

holocaust bloopers posted:Beyond this thread, there is no good, well thought out, and logical discussion on aviation anywhere else. Probably because so many of us are/were flyers or work in aviation. R/flying is pretty good. Its mostly flight training stuff, but occasionally more general aviation things come up.

The best line of that article.quote:The Transportation Safety Board was notified but an official told CBC News that aside from noting the incident, it would not be pursuing the investigation any further. I can just imagine some guy in the office going "Uh huh, uh huh, un huh. Ok, bye." and then just bursting out laughing.

Nah the TSB is actually pretty good (maybe too good) with journalists. I work in the marine industry in Canada, and quite often the first indication we have that someone else had a boo-boo is when the TSB tweets that they're dispatching investigators, which is usually within hours of an incident. Having seen how they deal with the press, CBC probably wasn't talking to some random flunky trying to get them off the line. They decide pretty quickly whether or not they'll do a full out investigation, too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKcqW95bPyw Too bad she had to be put to sleep, never saw one fly with my own eyes sadly... I have a nice big model of it in my living room and a real ADI sitting next to it. if I ever find myself on the English riviera I hope I might be able to fly the old BA sim for free using my mad engineering cred, too bad it's fixed base and not all of the cockpit is working all the time. Concorde is something that truly made the civil aviation world magical to me. All the A380s, 787s in the world and all the latest bizjet toys I work with nowadays still pale in comparison.

Man, I love the Concorde and all, but that's the wrongest opinion in a world where the Valkyrie exists. I'll give the Connie honorable mention. Speaking of, here's a pretty cool video about restoring a Connie.
