DAYTON — The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force announced it will be closed today for emergency management response training.
Today, March 15, the museum will be closed for training that was originally scheduled for January but was delayed due to inclement weather, according to museum officials.

Anyone driving near the museum today may hear alert sirens, see emergency vehicles, experience temporarily blocked roadways, or travel delays, and are asked to plan accordingly.
“Emergency management response training is critical because it allows us to be prepared should an urgent situation occur,” said National Museum of the U.S. Air Force Director David Tillotson. “Obviously the postponement and re-scheduling of the one-day closure is not ideal for those trying to plan a visit, but we’re hopeful that the weather will be better in March so that we can complete the training, and then look forward to a great spring and summer celebrating the museum’s 100th Anniversary.”
The museum is set to re-open to the public on March 16 at 9 a.m.
