Zub-zero temperatures, wind chill factors of minus 20 or colder and water leaks prompted several aviation heritage sites to close for a time this week.

All Dayton History sites, the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force and Wright "B" Flyer announced closings Monday. Wright "B" Flyer is normally closed Monday, but it announced it would also be closed Tuesday.

Some museums also experienced water leaks. The Armstrong Air and Space Museum announced that it had to close Wednesday because of a water leak. The National Museum on Wednesday reported the cold caused a leak in its sprinkler system in its Early Years Gallery, triggering a fire alarm that prompted an evacuation of the gallery.

For Ohio, it picked one of NAHA's heritage partners. Which one? If the photo didn't give it away, go to the story and pick number 35 in the slide show.
