They had a rental car waiting for us at the ramp, already running and were happy to tie the airplane down for us (as well as pull it around as I pulled into the wrong spot). It was some of the best service I've experienced at any FBO and would highly recommend Aviation Sales to anyone looking to take a trip to Dayton to visit the USAF Museum or some of the other historic aviation sites. There is no bottled water for free on-site, but there is a vending machine. They are open from 8am-8pm on Sundays.

When I was shopping for private pilot training, the first thing I looked for is the safety record of the aircraft. Enstroms check the boxes. No crazy safety Endorsement required like when flying mast-bumping Robinsons. The second thing I looked for was accessibility to service. Check. Warren Co airport is intimately associated with Enstrom Helicopter Corp and is a service center. Finally, I interviewed the instructor pilots. TJ and Matt are friendly gents with thousands of hours of experience. They have a firm dedication to safety and a dedication to seeing you become proficient in whatever you want to do. They are straight-shooters and lend sound advice on everything Helicopter. Their schedules are flexible and they really go out of their way to help. There is no one else you want in the right seat other than good pilots with good teaching skills. Don't expect a bunch of hand-holding on the ground knowledge, though. Their pragmatic approach has students using inexpensive on-line programs for that. I just received my private helo rating, and I'm living proof that vaheli performs a service as advertised! No regrets! Their tour clients are a satisfied group too, just ask!

But I hadn't flown in about 13 years and I was in serious need of instructed flight time. Coming from a family of pilots and aviation enthusiasts I had been around many of the airports in the southwest Ohio area since I was a child and now they are rapidly disappearing; Dahio (Dayton-New Lebanon), Miamitown, Brookville, and Blue Ash are gone. So I went to a small family run and family friendly airport in Waynesville, Ohio, just south of where I had grown up. There I met Red Stewart, the best, most knowledgeable, most competent light plane flight instructor I'd ever met. Red, was quite a character - he had forgotten more about aviation than I will probably ever know, and he could do things with a Piper Cub that very few others could or can do - like throw the stick out the window and land the Cub with the throttle, trim and rudders alone! Now Red is gone, and Cubby and Cathy Stewart run the airport. It is one of the best (and last) places in Southwest Ohio/Southeast Indiana area to learn to fly a variety of light aircraft, or to simply get an airplane ride. It's a small airport with a well maintained grass strip, tie-down space and some hangars, clean restrooms, a swingset for your kids and a friendly old dog who greets all visitors. Regardless of whether you want tricycle or tail-dragger instruction, here you can get GOOD instruction in well maintained aircraft a very reasonable rates. And they have fuel and parts, as well as maintenance and repair. When we needed parts for our Ercoupe, they were able to supply most of what we needed. And even if you don't fly, it's always busy on a beautiful day with airplanes coming and going, aerobatics, and sky divers - just come, watch, relax and pet the dog. What I love most about Red Stewart Field (Waynesville AIrport), is the total love and dedication of Cubby and Cathy Stewart to aviation and to passing their skills and passion to a whole new generation of pilots and people who love the art and science of flying. This country will always need pilots, and there isn't a better place to get your start in aviation than at Red Stewart Field on Rt. 42 just south of downtown Waynesville, Ohio.

A great museum complex packed with tons of fascinating exhibits and history!…read moreThis is a place with several "museums within a museum" because there is the main visitor's center building that has a variety of aviation exhibits, but it also houses the parachute museum within the walls of the visitor's center. There is also a national parks gift shop where you can get your passport stamped, buy aviation related merchandise and get some other national parks items. Across from the entrance, there is another building - one of the Wright Brothers cycle shop buildings. You can enter as part of one of their hourly tours. The exhibits inside are informative and a few are interactive. They also show a film about the Wright Brothers lives. They also offer a junior ranger program book that gets kids more engaged in the exhibits. My daughter loved completing the booklet and getting sworn in as a ranger! If you are traveling the aviation trail (or if you are wanting to learn more about the Wright Brothers) this is a must visit! The staff were wonderful and informative.

And that is saying something because I think the collection of NPS museums are among the best around. This particular facility is located by the Wright Brothers 4th cycle shop in near-West Dayton. When we visited, there were a handful of opportunities to tour the small shop itself on the half hour through the middle of the day. This was with one of the NPS guides as an interpreter. The shop tour was only 20 - 30 minutes but provided an excellent overview of the history of the Brothers as their business ventures evolved and as they eventually moved toward aeronautics. The display also touches on the history of the bicycle and its place in American life at the close of 19th Century. This itself is an interesting subject to explore a bit. Note that registration for and commencement of the tour are in the Visitor Center. The museum in the main building is two floors and covers the lives of the Wrights as well as that of Paul Laurence Dunbar. The story of the Wrights is fascinating and their mechanical genius is well documented. The struggles with the patent and overcoming political obstinance within the US government is a part of the narrative most don't know. What particularly caught my attention was their discovery that the accepted physical constants of the day regarding drag coefficients, etc. were wrong and were impeding efforts toward successful flight by those in the field. This discovery and their subsequent corrective action gave them their leg up in being the first to advance flight. While science is by definition objective reality, sometimes humans interpret it incorrectly crossing the boundary between science and dogma. The claim of "scientific fact" always comes with potentially fallible interpretation and should always be questioned. It's hard to reverse a wrong path. Dunbar's life is an equally interesting story. A prolific writer who died far too early, his journey to get past the profound racial barriers of his day is one worth understanding. It is significant to ponder what could have been without the shackles of prejudice. His brilliance is clear from his writing and the volume of his production. A visit to this museum is time well spent. The lives of the Wrights, the history of flight, the state of the art in the area of mechanical devices in the late 19th century and the life of PL Dunbar are all intriguing subjects that are explored. You can easily spend 2 - 3 enjoyable hours here.
