....You guys can go next year, but I think I'll wait until 2005 when they have the next one! Sadly, this has always been a bi-anual event. It's been three years since the last one, as they wanted to have it on the 100th anniversary of maned flight to coincide with all the other events taking place in Dayton this year to celebrate that achievement. Now, as for the lighting in the new gallery.... It stinks! I can't for the life of me imagine why they painted the interiors of the WWI, WWII, and Cold War/Moderrn Flight galleries black. It makes it very difficult to get decent photos. The Korea/Vietnam gallery has much better lighting due to the lighter color in which it is painted. While it might have been difficult to go back and repaint the first one, I wish they had followed this formula for the new building. Oh well, enough complaining, it's still one of my favorite places to visit! Jim
