The Mid-Atlantic Air Museum

---

 The Mid-Atlantic Air Museum, located at the Reading Regional Airport (Spaatz Field) is organized to ensure the professional stewardship of a collection that reflects the history of aviation and to enhance the public's appreciation and understanding of that history. The Museum's collection emphasizes the Mid-Atlantic region's unique contribution to flight, but is broad enough to chronicle a general history of aviation, including military aviation. 

The story of Mid-Atlantic Aviation is not just the story of airplanes, but of ideas. It is a story of productivity, perseverance, patriotism, and above all, the people that made these ideas a reality.  The story of Mid-Atlantic Aviation begins with people.

From the first manned balloon flight in Philadelphia in the 18th century, to the space age, Mid-Atlantic Aviation is the story of men and women; aviation's heroes who are not just limited to the inventors, pioneers, pilots, and manufacturers, but also include the thousands of Mid-Atlantic residents touched by, and a part of, aviation history.
