DAYTON | The public is invited - first-come, first-served - to attend President Bush's speech Friday at the dedication of a new wing of the U.S. Air Force Museum. But you must have a ticket.
The White House and local planners announced Monday that a limited number of free tickets can be obtained by visiting the museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base or Memorial Hall, 125 E. First St., 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. starting today and, if supplies remain, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday.
Individuals picking up tickets will have to sign for them and should be prepared to show photo ID. No large-group or large quantity requests will be accommodated.
Bush is to speak about noon on the museum grounds. Gates will open at 9 a.m. Ticket holders should arrive via Gate 28-B, off Springfield Pike, and follow the signs. Attendees will have to go through a metal detector at the event area.
