Trip Theme: Visiting Dayton's Aerospace
The Theme of our Trip-
This trip is an interesting and captivating trip on the history of the United States Air Force and more. We then be visiting the United States Air Force Museum located in the Wright Patterson Air Force Base. The museum is relatively close, only adding up to 7.2 miles (14.4 round). As many people know, Dayton is where the Wright Brothers invented and built the first airplane. The airplane has evolved throughout the years; from 1903 to 2014 the plane has been improved and changed dramatically. When we went to the Air Force Museum, it showed us how the airplane improved through many wars and technological advancements.
Plan For the Day-
We left DRSS around 9:00 am and arrived about 10:30. We started with the Wright Brothers plane/era, then we headed to the Space program. We ate lunch at 12:30. We left after lunch which was around 1:00. We then arrived at school around 2:45.The trail that took us to the museum goes through the middle of Riverside, following Woodman Avenue to Airway Road. The trail then took us to the entrance of the museum and base.

Most Memorable Experience-
We did a lot during our trip, from watching a movie to exploring an old radio tower. Our most memorable experience would have to be the movie. The movie showed and explained what deep space would look like and what the future of astronomy could be. The movie explained the kind of equipment that is used today, like the VLT, which stands for Very Large Telescope. The name stands for exactly what it is, a large telescope can be used to look deep into space. The VLT also uses a laser to focus on a point in space, which nullifies the effects of the atmospheric distortion.

Biking Safety Tip:
Always look both ways when crossing an intersection. This applies to this trip because multiple times we crossed busy intersection, and without this safety tip we would have been hit.
