On a trip to Dayton for the Amateur Radio convention in May, 1999, a number of us from the Williamson County (TX) Amateur Radio Club stopped for a visit here prior to returning home.  The history of aviation presented here is of tremendous scope ranging from the earliest aircraft to some of the most recent, including a section on space craft as well.  Also included are several experimental flying contraptions, both early in flight history, and even more recent ones.  My good friend, Ed Linde, K0GEX was along for this, his first trip to Dayton (2000 was his last), and appears in a number of these pictures.
