There’s an old saying in aviation: “flying is hypnotic and all pilots are willing victims to the spell”. On a special docent -lead tour with the Chesapeake Forum on September 13th, you will hear the story of how four local friends came under the aviation spell to build the Massey Air Museum and Aerodrome in Massey, MD.
Carved from cornfields in 2001 with a 3,000’ grassy runway, the Museum is home to vintage aircraft used during WWI and WWII plus captured or downed enemy aircraft, uniforms and memorabilia. Visitors can tour the aircraft collection and library, see some of the current restoration projects, or just watch airplanes come and go. The small museum also houses news and materials from around the globe as well as information on aircraft of nearly all varieties, both domestic and foreign. Special media coverage from the past is also displayed.
