Vacations with an R/C twist

  I thought it might be fun to look at some RC related mini vacations

Dayton Ohio

I figured since I knew a little about Dayton, and it was where real flight was originated, it would be a good first place to have a mini vacation.

Let's start with a nice motel:

Their website has some links to sites nearby and some great pictures to check out.

I think this is a perfect place to stay.  Motel is new, and located just across the street from the Air Force Museum,

and within walking distance to:

just a few buildings away.

If you would like to fly at local club, I would contact
