The Dayton International Airport is actually in Vandalia, Ohio. There is a group of hotels and restaurants a few miles south of the airport (I-75 and Wyse Road).

There are 5 or 6 hotels and many chain type restaurants in this cluster. There is an aviation-themed bar (Wings) within a mile of this cluster of Hotels/Restaurants.

Restaurants:
Max and Erma's, Outback, Don Pablo, Chipotle, Nothing but Noodles, Cracker Barrel, Hooters, Panera Bread, Skyline Chili, Sake Japanese, Joe's Crab Shack

There are more but I cant remember all the names.

Hotels:

Courtyard Dayton North
Fairfield Inn
Motel 6
Comfort Inn
Red Roof
Extended Stay
Drury Inn

All of these Hotels are on Miller Lane in Vandalia Ohio.

This is the most convenient block of Hotels and Restaurants to the Airport.

There are others of course.

Downtown Dayton is pretty interesting.

Here are my recommendations downtown.

Dublin Pub is a good Irish bar. Excellent Guinness pours and good beef stew. Fifth and Wayne in the Oregon District. Live Music but the best guy plays on Wednesday. Sometimes they have Irish music on the weekends.

Jays Seafood on Sixth also in the Oregon district. Kindy pricey.

Wings Bar and Grill on Wyse and North Dixie in Vandalia is an aviation themed bar that we spent an evening at. Older crowd (for some of the youth in this game anyway)

thanx for the info gumbeau, i think then i'll just get a General Admin ticket and bring my own cooler and folding chairs, they have cup holders too

ur welcome to use that group rate also for ur squad, doupt we'll fill all 50 rooms, give the the group name : ACES HIGH

89.00 night isn't too bad, if ur arriving sooner, just let them know at the hotel k they said we can arrive anytime under that rate.

I wont know if I'm gonna make it until the last minute.

I have an extremely variable schedule.

Besides....I have a gazillion Marriott points so I'll be in a Marriott property.

The tickets are cheaper at the local Kroger store, i believe they are like 5 too 6 bux less.

As for the drinks & R&R afterwards betty, your never gonna believe this but right down the road is a little watering hole called " The Spitfire Grill ".

Wings is a nice place and not neccesarily for the older crowd. I see lots of younger ones there too. Pool, Darts and Electronic Golf and excellent food.

What do ya think about a bowling night? I haven't bowled in years but it would be easy for me to set somethin up.

betty · « **Reply #37 on:** February 18, 2007, 12:08:41 PM »

Betty...

You might try to contact Fencer51. We had a con in Dayton a number of years ago and he had a contact at the museum. He was able to arrange a tour prior to the museum opening.....and a squat in a P51D cockpit.
