In my last trip to USA, I included in one day visit to Dayton for its popular US National air force museum. Dayton, with severe cold and dry climate in winter, located in Southern Ohio state, 100 km north of Cincinati, though its not a big town, it possesses the world oldest and largest military aviation museum , exhibit more than 300 air crafts and missiles and thousands of artifacts from Wright Brothers to "Stealth" fighters inclusive of Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29.
