MAPS Air Museum

Any aviation or military history fan will love to visit. Not quite the National Air Museum or the Air Force Museum but a local treat for sure! Dress for the weather, parts of the aircraft inventory is outside.

MAPS stands for Military Air Preservation Society.

They have many old to antique aircraft. Some restored, some a work in progress.

They also have a small but interesting military museum. It is well worth a visit.

Look up their web page for more i info.

They have lots of war aircraft, plus a gondola from a Goodyear blimp that you can walk through, a F-16, a full mobile medical hospital tent you can walk through and get a true sense of what it was like, and much more. I will be back soon to explore it some more!

Really cool place to visit . Allow about two hours to do a quality visit .YES THERE ARE THAT MANY ATTRACTIONS !!!!!! TWO HOURS !!!!!!
I found this place, simply amazing .
It surpassed my expectations .
You'll see many military aircraft . And some of them you can sit in . REALLY COOL !!!!
A must visit next time you are in the Akron or Canton , Ohio area .

The museum has an excellant website so I'll leave it it to provide details.
Easy to find with good signage. A large complex with numerous buildings that are off limits to visitors and the large hangar and ramp area.
Volunteers were very helpful. Not always very knowledgeable about the artifacts but very helpful and motivated.
The admission is about $16 with various discounts. Seems like $16 is the price to get in anywhere.
Artifacts have been restored to look like famous aircraft. But the only really historic aircraft is a circa 1908 Martin Glider. Twenty + aircraft are displayed outside. Some freshly painted. They won't last long exposed to heat, cold and constant sun. There is a F7U hulk, partially dismantled, that is unique.
The museum has a HUGE gift shop.
MAPS is a very nice medium sized aviation museum. The staff are a big plus. And the accommodation for young people are great assets.
