The "Wright" Ride (July 8, 2019)

 Monday is a beautiful day to ride. Still blessed with a few days of sun, which is unique as the past few weeks have been more wet than dry. However, I do enjoy it, both for getting outside things done around the house and for getting some miles in on the motorcycle. Nothing like getting your knees in the breeze.
I went off in a different direction, heading to Beavercreek to see some sights in that direction. I ended up near Wright State, which is a college in the area. This is a photo of the bike (at left) at the Nutter Center. Sure that was some notable person but a very cool arena. 
Riding on I came across the National Museum of the US Air Force. Got there via a different route and stopped for a few minutes to see some of the outside displays. This is an A-10 at the left, and directly below is a F-15. After that rode out to the Wright Memorial. There I got this photo of the memorial which was dedicated near the sight where the Wright Brothers perfected their airplane.Third photo is Huffman Dam, while Huffman Field is off to the right in the trees. I have in the past ridden the motorcycle there, sure there are some photos on this site. Stopped at a museum at the Wright memorial and got the photo of the Wright Model G. It is just a few parts but what it looked like was in the next photo. Finally a modern flight suit (well, at least in the last century) and an ejection seat. I love aviation and find these places here interesting.
It was a great ride on a beautiful day and sure enjoyed being out and about exploring new routes to favorite places.
