Open Airplane Day

The Hagerstown Aviation Museum will host an Open Airplane Day and the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) Young Eagle flights on Saturday August 19th from 9AM until 4PM in our newly renovated Dome Hangar. Note that this is rescheduled from the original date to avoid conflict with the Martinsburg Air Show. This will be an opportunity to see the recent renovations of the original, 1943 Fairchild test flight hangar. The museum’s newly acquired RC-26B Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance airplane and our iconic “Dustoff” Huey UH-1V air ambulance helicopter will be on display. Weather permitting, the museum’s two PT-19 WW II trainers will be available for experience flights. The museum, housed in part of the former Fairchild Aircraft facility, is adjacent to the Hagerstown Regional Airport. Entry to the event will be through the Basore Drive gate; signs will be posted to guide attendees.
