• NOTICE: We are accepting books and magazines! Don Hooker has built another bookcase for the library, we now have approx. 3000 books cataloged and are organized to house all donations. Don’t throw those aviation magazines and books away! We have gotten a very good reception to making selected (newer) aviation magazines available free to visitors and the sale of duplicate books has raised over $900.00 the last two years in a row. We are now also selling used Non-Aviation books (including novels) that are not subject appropriate for an Aviation Library – so bring it on, nothing goes to waste.

• Updates and Current News are also posted on Facebook (See Link in Menu: Above Right). If no answer at 410-928-5270: Call Bill @ 610-676-0198. I SCREEN CALLS, so call twice. If you want a return call – please REPEAT the number slowly when leaving a voice message!

The Massey Air Museum is OPEN for Self-Guided Tours, pick up a Tour Guide sheet in the lobby. Feel free to ask questions (if you don’t see us, we may be working in the shop or outside). If the hangar entry doors are closed we will be glad to open them so you can also walk through the two community hangars. Although the DC-3 can get hot on sunny summer days, we will open the airstair door for you to go inside when it’s temperate. The An-2 is also open to tour. Masks are required for NON-VACCINATED persons ONLY. Free Admission but Donations Welcome. Museum Hours: 11 AM to 4 PM every day except Monday. – Calling ahead is recommended @ 410-928-5270.
