Gemini and Apollo astronaut Richard "Dick" Gordon died Nov. 7 at age 88. A Navy veteran, he was a test pilot when he joined NASA's astronaut corps. <br />
Dick was the guest of honor when the Museum marked the 45th anniversary of the Gemini program in 2011. He was an informative part of panel discussions, which spotlighted several people who worked on the program Maryland. Martin Marietta played a key role in the Titan missile used in the program.<br />
Everyone who met Dick was impressed by his warmth and remember him fondly.GLMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02208076730076343466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406900560207566951.post-18438347249842118062017-11-03T15:17:00.001-04:002017-11-10T11:37:46.397-05:00Look into planetary defenses<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What happens when an asteroid or other near-earth object threatens us?<br />
<br />
On November 6 Cheryl Reed, project manager of the DART program to redirect an asteroid, told audience about all the exciting programs at Johns Hopkins Applies Physics Laboratory. Dr. Reed described NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test which is scheduled to launch in 2020 and will impact "Didymoon" in 2022.<br />

Visitors from the Smithsonian Associates program followed the "Ghost of the China Clipper" to Middle River on Saturday, October 21. The day-trippers made a stop at the Museum, where they heard archivist Stan Piet give a brief history of Glenn Martin and his factory. They spent time looking at the Flight Line at Strawberry Point, where they heard members Ray Helmick and David Power give some inside information on some of the craft. They then headed for lunch and a talk on Pan Am and the China Clipper. In the afternoon, they took a tour of the Maryland Air National Guard base.<br />
Before boarding the bus back to Washington, they heard from Al Pollard, airport manager.<br />

Historian Jack Burkert informed and entertained visitors as the featured guest at Monday's Speaker Series. His lively presentation focused on local indutries that thrived during World War II. Although his talk focused on the "Big Three" industries that employed more than 100,000 people during the peak of the war effort -- steel making, ship building and aircraft manufacturing -- he also tipped his hat to the many other companies that contributed.<br />
More than 50,000 people worked at the Martin Company and he hailed Glenn Martin as one of the aviation pioneers of the century.<br />

Hundreds of visitors took a chance on the weather to come to the last <b>Open Cockpi</b>t and <b>Flea Market</b> of the year at the Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum on Saturday. Buyers scooped up aviation photos, books and models at the Museum's table and still had time and money to check out all the merchandise from the other vendors.<br />

Families enjoyed the overcast and cool walk along the historic aircraft at Strawberry Point and the children were thrilled to sit in the cockpit of an historic fighter, airliner or attack helicopter.<br />

Dave Waldrup, USAF veteran, was our guest at the monthly Speaker Series on August 7.<br />
<br />
His topic was "The B-52 -- Toe to Toe with the Russkies." Attendees enjoyed his personal tour of being a B-52 crew member and some of the humorous episodes flying during a very serious time.<br />

Members took the story of Glenn Martin and his company on the road Tuesday, although they did not have to travel far to find an audience at the Essex Branch of the Baltimore County Public Library. Regina Buehl, Stan Marzec, Steve Payne and other Museum members answered questions and offered glimpses into what motivated them to enjoy their volunteer time at the museum.GLMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02208076730076343466noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406900560207566951.post-76078314655077867842017-05-29T22:31:00.000-04:002017-06-11T08:46:39.076-04:00June Open Cockpit/Flea MarketSaturday Open Cockpit returns June 10, weather permitting.

For the first time, the aircraft of the Glenn L. Martin
Maryland Aviation Museum will be available—for adoption. The aircraft can’t be
taken home, and adopters won’t be responsible for care of the aircraft. Funds
raised will help maintain the aircraft on display at Strawberry Point. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thirteen of the museum’s aircraft are available for
adoption, including the Martin 4-O-4 airliner, the UH-1M Huey helicopter and
the F-100F Super Sabre. For a $25 donation, donors receive a personalized
adoption certificate and a fact sheet about the aircraft they have adopted. They also receive recognition on the website. Adoptions are good for one year and are suggested for the aviation fan, all
occasions (Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, graduation, etc.) or to honor
someone special. <o:p></o:p></div>

The weather was clear and cool for the first Open Cockpit event of the season. Many families dropped by the see the Museum's aircraft and get a rare chance to sit inside many. The children, young and old, had fun exploring the historic Flight Line at Strawberry Point.<br />
<br />
Your next chance to sit in a historic aircraft will be Saturday May 13, weather permitting. Don't miss the chance. And, remember, the hours for the event have gotten earlier from 9 AM to 1 PM, so you can beat the heat, when it finally arrives.<br />

April 8 marked the return of the popular Open Cockpit day when visitors, young and old alike, get a chance to sit in the Museum's historic aircraft. This year, there are some changes: the hours for the open aircraft are 9 AM to 1 PM, so arrive early. Once again, there will be a shuttle bus to make your trip easier. There are plenty of other things to see when you come, so leave time for it all.<br />
<br />
This week also begins our Adopt-an-Aircraft campaign when you can help support your favorite aircraft. Information and forms will be at the museum, or you can look are our Aircraft webpage.GLMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02208076730076343466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406900560207566951.post-85426542579029583342017-03-04T07:46:00.002-05:002017-03-04T07:58:21.244-05:00Museum gets a place in the Sun<br />

Jane Michael, longtime Jill-of-all-trades at the Museum, stepped down on January 11 as chairman of the board when her two-year term was up. Board members, volunteers and guests enthusiastically thanked her for her service. Jane said she would now limit herself to being the Museum "Administrator," which means she would continue her work to keep the organization moving forward.GLMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02208076730076343466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406900560207566951.post-45699303328242851172016-12-07T23:46:00.003-05:002017-01-14T09:08:21.216-05:00Train garden is back!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's that time of year again when the Museum expands its scope to include ground transportation, mainly trains! Come see our evolving Christmas garden that includes both land and air facets. This year, the layout boasts more references to the Martin Company in Middle River.<br />
<br />
The garden is included with regular admission to the museum, Wednesday through Saturday 11 AM to 3 PM. You also get to see the big planes at Strawberry Point!
