“It creates quite a few challenges and, of course, is not nearly as spectacular in the Modern Flight Gallery” inside the museum, Kaplan said this week. “We don’t have the luxury of postponing this event with the dignitaries coming in from all points of the compass.
“It just creates a great waste or time, money and manpower unnecessarily,” he said. “The irony is this is America’s Oscar night of aviation and our government has thrown it into a blender.”
The Hope Hotel is located next to Wright-Patterson Gate 12A off Ohio 444 in Fairborn. For information, log onto www.hopehotel.com and www.nationalaviation.org.
All event times remain the same, according to organizers.
