Sep 8, 2009 · Speaking about airplane crashes, I was in school at Beavercreek High when the Canberra bomber broke up and a huge chunk of it crashed between the 2 wings of the high school without hitting anything. Another memory I have that I can't seem to find others remembering is that we boated and water skiied a LOT at Triangle Park from the Keowee bridge ...

Jan 29, 2013 · For some reason I was thinking it was down closer to the Burkhart/Findlay area, but that may be an old playground airplane-like jungle gym memory creeping in. In any case, I'm thinking it was the F-84 with the straight wing rather than the swept wing F-86, but I'm sure it had the front air intake.

The distance of more than sixty miles was covered at better than a mile a minute, then considered fast airplane speed; and the “express fee” was $5,000, or about $71.42 a pound. But within a day or two the store had a good profit on the transaction, for it sold small pieces of the silk for souvenirs, and the gross returns were more than $6,000.

Sep 24, 2012 · It was suppose to have knocked a bridge pillar out of whack and dumped fuel on a car as it slid down the highway. Then in regards to that plane crash at Beavercreek HS. My speech class was right next to where that plane came down. Talked mom into keeping us home from school that day. Good thing. Living in Dayton I remember a lot of bad plane ...

Feb 2, 2013 · I remember a lot of traffic crashes at the light on I 75 & Needmore too. tlturbo 336 posts Jun 27, 2012 5:04 AM Yes, that was the Imperial House North. There was a South one also just across I-75 from the drive-in theater next to the Dayton Mall. They were top notch places and even more so back in the early 70's.

This, in the ordinary course of things might not have paved the way for the achievements now generally credited to Dayton: with the forward march of progress after the epoch-making accomplishment of a great invention (such as the airplane), the progenitors thereof may easily have been lured from the scene for greener pastures beyond.

This shall be no attempt to detail the story of the Wrights nor the birth of the airplane. That has been done by more capable writers. But this series of red-letter events in Dayton would not be complete without rewriting the story of those two hectic days, June 17 and 18, 1909, when Dayton went crazy over the Wright brothers.
