First Airport Ride (June 1, 2022)

First day of June, and the first ride of the month. Headed out to Huffman Prairie which is the first airport in the USA. Here the Wright Brothers tested the Wright Flyer III which is considered the first practical airplane. In fact, that same plane is on display at the Carillon Historical Park in Dayton. 

Nice day to ride, and always enjoy visiting this place. The items there are replicas, though not sure if the commuter station is, or is the real deal. There was a train which ran from their house in Dayton, to the airfield here which is just outside of Fairborn, Ohio. In fact it is actually on the grounds of Wright Patterson Air Force Base, but you dont have to go through a gate to get to it. 

Nice early this morning for the ride, though a bit hot and will be close to 90 later today which is warmer than usual for this time of year. Did just under 35 miles and enjoyed the ride a great deal. Looking forward to my next adventure on the Triumph.
