I'd vote for Feb 20-22

I'll keep following this; I have family there and there's plenty to do. The AF-1 hangar at WPAFB will blow you away, though I miss the days when you could drive on base and park at the hangar.

Count me as tentative on this depending on how the date works out. As for the date, the later the better. March is still susceptible to snow,

All proposed dates are good for me so far.

I could do March or early April.

Is this a go? :D

:eek:

This one certainly fell off the radar, didn't it.

seems so.

I hope to get a Toledo Mud Hens baseball game Do going some nice weekend in prob May or June.

I'll start a new thread if it materializes.

Still in Ohio so doable for me^

Starting soon, I shall be living closer to the Ohio border...but I also have a lot of travel coming up this spring. Will join where I can, though!

I dropped the ball
 

Between school and buying a house I don't think I've been on FT in about a month. It's probably too late to do March. Someone on the last page suggested the last weekend in April. Would that work? If we get things set within the next week or so that would give about 2 months for those needing to travel.

That might work for us. Between when I bumped this and today, Mr. Kipper found out that he is now planning a trip to Alaska in the spring. Tentatively, he thinks it will be May or June, so this should be a go for us, but if the date of his trip is early May, we may need to pass.

I'll be in bi-coastal mode (approx 2 weeks DC, one week Seattle) once we wrap up the DC-->SEA relocation (early to mid April, depending on whether we opt to fly or drive) ... other than the weekend of 8-11 May when we will be in New Orleans, I should be able to choreograph my TCONs to join the Dayton DO

I have also promised a bunch of my former AF colleagues that I will make an appearance at Wright-Patt in the next few months

pa -wv -il-mi-ky?

Didn't say across any borders, just closer. :p

Soooooooo. No longer "near NYC?" :rolleyes:

I will keep an eye on this thread since I work in the Midwest quite a bit and DAY is very easy for me a good part of the time.

Closer to PIT ?

End of April timeframe would be good

life happens, no worries.

I'm a maybe for the last weekend in April.

For those interested, the Toledo Do III thread has been established, http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/commu...not-spain.html

I'm looking forward to Do Wright but only the 1st & 3rd weekends are good for me.

Count me in ^

I'm about out of windows:

3-5 Apr -- Easter
10-12 Apr -- SEA
17-19 Apr -- challenging but probably doable
24-26 Apr -- good
1-3 May -- SEA
8-10 May -- MSY
15-17 May -- good
22-24 May -- Memorial Day

For me, the only pre-June weekends that work are 17-19 Apr and maybe 15-17 May. Maybe we should plan for a DAY Do in September???

or even Oct.

Safe to say Summer is probably out for most

Fall could possibly work, as long as we avoid hunting season. :D

having spent at least two weeks of my summer vacations in Dayton during 18 years of USAF Reserve duty, I heartily agree that this is not an ideal time to visit the Miami Valley

although cold beer at the Dublin Pub in the Oregon District or The Pub at The Greene on a hot muggy summer afternoon is never a bad thing

Well I agree September/October - but let us not let it go off the radar this time and start putting some serious dates down. Please avoid Oct 11th it is my 35th Wedding anniversary though I could of course bring the wife along :)

Works for me.

How about September? Most of October is booked for me.

Perfect :)

your anniversary notwithstanding, that's a holiday weekend anyway (at least for most of the remainder of the US population) :cool:

my current schedule includes a cyber-security colloquium in SEA the weekend of 18-20 Sep, and a family function in BNA the first weekend of Oct

I'm booked in October, and November through February is too damn cold. How about next March?

:p:p:p

:D Are you booked in September?

I'm likely to be in Alaska for most of September.

As for October, I'll be gone at the end of the month but the first two thirds or so of the month are fine.

But my travel schedule is so fuzzy at this time that no one should plan this thing around me...

Thought your handle looked familiar. See you in Alaska.

Sept 19th is the USAF Marathon so we'd want to avoid that weekend as the Museum and surrounding area are crowded with that activity.

yes, good catch there ... hotel accommodations would likely be rather harder to come by as well

Just saw this on the local news. The Presidential and R&D gallery (currently housed inside the base in an old hangar) will be closed starting Oct 01, 2015 until sometime in early 2016. This is to allow for the move of those aircraft to the newly-constructed addition to the main museum which will house those aircraft - and eliminate the need for the special visitors passes/busing to see them.

Depending on how much our potential attendees want to see those particular aircraft, may want to plan around that. However there is still lots to see in the museum even aside from those planes. Thought I'd pass along though just in case.

A bump - are we any closer to a DO?

just a thought ... could we perhaps plan something for Fri 28 Aug and the morning of Sat 29 Aug, and then mosey up to Toledo (approx 2-2.5 hr drive, or so the experts say) for baseball?
