Open Cockpit Day Showcases Museum's New Airplane

The Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum's newly repainted 4-0-4 passenger airliner, built at the Glenn L. Martin Company in 1952, will be open to Museum visitors on May 25th from 11am to 2pm for the Museum's Open Cockpit Day. With a presentation of a special award to Matthew Kramer of Lockheed Martin earlier this month, the Museum thanked the Middle River division of Lockheed Martin for its donation that made the painting of this 61 year old airplane possible.

On this May 25th Open Cockpit event, the Museum will premiere its newest aircraft, a T-34C, recently added to the Museum's collection.  Weather permitting, visitors have the opportunity to sit in the pilot's seat of one of the Museum's  jet fighter. 

In addition to enjoying a very up close visit to  the Museum's aircraft at the Strawberry Point flightline, visitors can see the newest Museum  exhibits including "They answered the Call" which is a tribute to the WWII era employees of the Glenn L. Martin Company, a large model of Glenn L. Martin's first aircraft, and a  model of the Seamaster, a jet seaplane remembered by many local residents. Actors will be bringing to life Martin employees and their stories and there will be a hands-on activity for children.

With a budget friendly admission of  $3 for adults and $1 for children, plus free parking, a visit to the Museum's Open Cockpit Day will provide a memorable experience for visitors of all ages.
