The Hagerstown Aviation Museum is an aviation museum at the Hagerstown Regional Airport in Hagerstown, Maryland. It is focused on the history of the Fairchild Aircraft Corporation.

History[]

The idea for an aviation museum in Hagerstown began in 1995 with a group of individuals that included Richard Henson and John Seburn. After a decade of delays, the museum opened to the public in downtown Hagerstown, Maryland on 14 July 2005.[2] The following year, the museum purchased a C-82 at auction from Hawkins and Powers in Greybull, Wyoming.[1][3]

The museum purchased a C-123 and trucked it to the airport in 2019.[4][5]

After originally considering building a new hangar, the museum moved to the former Fairchild Aircraft Flight Test Hangar in 2020.[1][6][7]
