::::And another, slightly different, from Ham's native Australia: ''The museum's site has been chosen for its strategic location. It is six kilometres from an airline hub, Greater Cincinnati International Airport, and near Florence, Kentucky, headquarters of the Answers in Genesis worldwide ministry. As Ham explains, "One of the main reasons we moved there was because we are within one hour's flight of 69 per cent of America's population."''<ref>Sydney Morning Herald - Onward the new Christian soldier, January 17, 2005 [http://www.smh.com.au/news/Paul-Sheehan/Onward-the-new-Christian-soldier/2005/01/16/1105810774805.html]</ref> --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 19:36, 31 May 2007 (EDT)

:::::Hey, wait, what's this? He says it's "six kilometres from an airline hub, Greater Cincinnati International Airport." But the big Cincinnati airport seems to be CVG, which is named Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, not and Google Maps gives the distance to Petersburg, Kentucky as [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=cvg&daddr=petersburg,+ky&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=31.564064,60.117188&ie=UTF8&ll=39.05865,-84.602966&spn=0.483058,0.939331&z=10&om=1 fifteen miles], not six kilometres.
:::::If nobody objects, I'd like to use this wording, pushing the details into a footnote, and avoid the issue of how the site was chosen.
::::::The museum is located fifteen miles from the Cincinnati airport, in the town of Petersburg, Kentucky.<ref>Ham says people ask "Why would you pick northern Kentucky?" and points out that two-thirds of the U. S. population lives within a 650-mile drive or an hour's flight.</ref>
:::::If anyone does object, OK, leave it as it is but add the references [[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] turned up. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 20:33, 31 May 2007 (EDT)
