The Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum, located at Martin State Airport, offers visitors the opportunity to launch a dream and capture a memory on Second Saturdays from April through August from 11am - 2pm with a visit to the Museum's Open Cockpit Day. Weather permitting, visitors can experience air travel of the 1950's and board the Museum's 1952 Martin 404 passenger airliner. And for children dreaming of being a pilot or for adults wanting to discover the view of a pilot in flight, visitors can sit in the pilot's seat of one of the Museum's jet fighter aircraft. The Museum's exhibit "They Answered the Call", a salute to the World War II employees of the Glenn L. Martin Company will be open for discovering 1940's Middle River, its people and their communities and service to their country.
