2018 I might be able to make it, a bit being able to put a little extra cash together; but more just the planning for the trip.
To follow up on someone's comments about downtown hotels. I went to a couple of model car events in Dayton in the late 80's and stayed at a downtown hotel one year. Wish I'd had a flak jacket and was really happy to see my rental car there and on all 4 tires in the mornings. |

Was looking for hotels between Xenia and the museum, which is less than 15-miles travel distance. In my post I actually show the location of the museum on 1100 Spaatz. One of the hotels is across the street from the museum. I don't want to go downtown Dayton, but will if that is where this might be held at. Dave, I will commit to the $125. Even if I can't make it this year. Almost a positive I can make it though this year. Probably not next year. Mike |

So you have a private jet? Xenia is a small general aviation airport. There are no commercial flight there unless you charter your own plane or have one Isaac

Yep, was planning a short stop there as well. Found it first, but decided didn't want to drive through or around Dayton if I don't have to.

I will try to attend if the Dayton area meeting is scheduled.
Actually, the first paper model conventions were in Miamisberg, a Dayton suburb. Dayton is not hard to get around, even the rush hour is not too bad. After the paper model convention the Air Force Museum is a must see, there is an armor museum in Anderson, Indiana, Motts Military Museum in Groveport, a small but interesting veteran's museum in Germantown (Veterans Museum is a jewel in Germantown) which I highly recommend, the The Wright Cycle Company Complex/Aviation Heritage Foundation in Dayton, a lot of other Wright Brothers sites scattered around the area, and the Waco Museum (www.wacoairmuseum.org) in Troy. There is antique shopping for your wife in Waynesville and Lebanon. The village of Yellow Springs (Yellow Springs, Ohio) is an interesting place to wander around in , has a large forested park on the edge of the village for hiking (the springs are really a bright orange), and many places to eat from good and cheap to suburb and expensive. There are lots of hotels along the i75 corridor and some along the 675 loop near the malls. Mendelsons (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrbQtrp4hGA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T5Rx4ra6P4 ) near downtown is a giant warehouse filled with electronic, industrial and consumer surplus. And finally, saving the best for last, Marco's Paper (https://www.marcopaper.com/) on Whipp Road in Centerville, has a huge stock of papers and paper tools, and you do not have to buy an entire ream, you can purchase papers by the sheet. |
