The Dawn Patrol Rendezvous World War I Fly-In, one of the leading historical aviation events in the country, will appear at the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, Ohio from Sept. 30-Oct. 2. The event features flyovers by vintage reproduction aircraft, such as the Fokker DR-1, SE-5, and Curtiss JN4D Jenny. In 2003, the last time the Dawn Patrol came to the museum, it drew approximately 50,000 visitors.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
