Hey, it’s Wes and Jay, and we’re excited to share our recent adventure at the MAPS Air Museum in Canton, Ohio. A decade has passed since our last exploration of this aviation marvel, and the anticipation to witness its transformations was palpable. The museum has undergone remarkable updates, now boasting a diverse array of planes and aeronautical artifacts. What truly impressed us was the museum’s commitment to providing an immersive experience, allowing us to not only admire but sit in the cockpits and delve into the intricate components of these captivating aircraft.
Beyond the aircraft, our journey inside revealed an extensive collection of war memorabilia, featuring a detailed Gallery of Heroes that showcases artifacts from various wars. The inclusion of historical events such as the D-Day Airborne Invasion of Normandy added profound depth to our experience. Stepping outside, we witnessed the museum’s expansion with a captivating display of planes and helicopters, solidifying its status as a haven for aviation enthusiasts. From flamethrowers to a Goodyear blimp gondola, the museum unfolds as a treasure trove of aviation history.
