Critical Date Change for the 2016 WWI Dawn Patrol Rendezvous
Planning teams had begun preparations for the 2016 event. Then,
the First Presidential Debate
landed in Dayton, Ohio at the
Wright State University Nutter
Center on Sept 26th.
With this special event comes an
FAA temporary flight restriction; which means there will
be no flying for 48 hours before,
during, and about 12 hours after
the debate. This causes us to
move the dates.
The Museums website has been
updated to reflect the new dates.
Please mark these important
dates on your 2016 calendar:

Sept 29arrival day

Sept 30dress rehearsal day and media
op; evening reception for participants
only
Oct 1first day of public event; evening
outdoor BBQ on back field for
participants only and movie
Oct 2last day of public event; evening
banquet for participants only
Oct 3departure day

Spread the Word

We are asking all participants to help in spreading the word
of the 2016 WWI Dawn Patrol Rendezvous on Oct 1 & 2,
2016 held on historic Wright Field at the National Museum
of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.
