 The "Birthplace of Aviation" Dayton, Ohio will host the third annual International Symposium for Aviation Photography (ISAP-III) this February 27 through March 1, 2003.

On Friday, February 28, ISAP conference attendees are scheduled to visit the United States Air Force Museum and take a self-guided tour of the facility as part of their regular programming. During this same period we have made arrangements for a special "behind the scenes" tour of the restoration and storage hangar. Because space is limited for this special tour, those wishing to take this separate tour must register in advance. Please note, due to security measures each person on this tour must have a photo ID (passports are required for non-US citizens) with them at all times. Additinally, should the security level be heightened this special tour will be cancelled. This should not affect the tour to the Museum itself. ind the scences at the United States Air Force Museum and witness the restoration and storage of the museum. Sign up now by emailing Theresa Mileo at theresa.mileo@wright.edu. |

There also will be a tour of the National Aviation Hall of Fame Learning Center. Emphasizing the significance of 2003 and its tie-in to the "Centennial Anniversary of Powered Flight", other Dayton-area attractions tentatively slated to host ISAP-III visits include Carillon Historical Park (home of the Wright's original 1905 aircraft), and Huffman Prarie where the Wrights conducted many of their most successful post-1903 flight experiments and proved the practicality of their airplane. |
