The Buckeye State is the birthplace of aviation and presidents.
Fun fact: More astronauts have come from Ohio than any other state!
Birthplace of the Wright brothers and Neil Armstrong, Ohio hosts the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force at Dayton and Ohio State's long-running flight program; a dense reliever network keeps GA strong.
Best season: April–June and September–October are best; winter lake-effect clouds off Lake Erie and summer convective complexes bound the year.
Airspace: Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton Class C/D layers plus Wright-Patterson's heavy test traffic; Lake Erie shoreline corridors demand attention.
