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.
The U.S. supports “a stronger and more capable” European defense, Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III said during an Oct. 22 press conference in Brussels—but that defense should not duplicate the functions and capabilities of the NATO alliance.
