There’s something about airplanes that capture the imagination in a way no other mode of transportation can. The gravity-defying feat of flight is, when you really think about it, nothing short of miraculous. It’s become such an ingrained part of our everyday lives that it’s impossible to imagine a world without airplanes — and Ohio certainly played a key part in aviation history. Dayton, in fact, is hailed as the birthplace of aviation, as Wilbur and Orville Wright were born in this mid-sized town. As such, the city has lots of flight-themed attractions, from the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force to the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park… there’s even an entire Dayton Aviation Trail. This July, however, there’s an event in Dayton that moves airplanes out of the museums and into the skies. It’s the Dayton Air Show and promises to be a weekend of high-flying, “Top Gun” fueled fun in Ohio.
