Massey Air Museum
Massey Aerodrome, Maryland
October 2025
The Massey Air Museum, located at Massey Aerodrome, consists of three hangars and several aircraft displayed outdoors. On arriving mid-afternoon I only found locked hangars. I would advise visitors to call ahead to confirm opening hours, as access to the hangars may vary.
During my visit, the museum manager, John Williamson, was contacted by the office cleaner I met and kindly returned to open the facilities, allowing full access to the exhibits and permission for photography.
