We're WWII reenactors and "WWII Weekend" gets better every year. I grew up during WWII and the entire setting brings back memories.

The Mid-Atlantic Air Museum has a WWII weekend each year in June around the anniversary of D-Day. It's a three days of performers, reenactments, convoys and war birds flying. This was my second year and I'm glad to have gone on two separate days. For photographers it's not as crowded on Fridays so it's a good day to walk up and down the fence along the runway to find good positions for landings and take offs. There are planes giving rides all day so you have plenty of chances to try different settings for prop blur or panning. There are air shows on Saturday and Sunday which are also great for photo ops. The announcer is wonderful and makes sure you know when the planes are making their "photo pass". The pilots and reenactors are great to talk to and I always learn something interesting. I can't wait for next year!

I'm a longtime member of the Mid Atlantic Air Museum and finally visited the WWII weekend this year. Excellent experience.While my main reason for joining MAAM is a passion for all things aviation, I was so impressed by the event and had no idea it was so well done.Many dedicated WWII reenactments, including military installations and a glimpse of civilian life as well. An interesting French village, giving a taste of wartime Europe and a collection of rare aircraft, including the legendary B-17, C-54, C-46, C-47 and other aircraft of the era.To round out the experience, wartime music and radio broadcasts filled the air, as did live entertainers singing, dancing and doing Abbott and Costello comedy routines.A great visit - so I recommend a visit to the museum at any time, but I highly recommend the WWII weekend for an important and entertaining history lesson.

The guide Bill was a font of knowledge about the histories of the vintage planes that they acquire and restore to be used at air shows on occasion. Most of the planes were from WWII and one was a plane that was lost in a jungle somewhere and they rescued it and are in the process of restoring it! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Awesome event with something for everyone! Airplanes, re-enactors, swing dancing and support from the home front effort. Meet WWII vets and hear their stories!

Our tour guide was excellent. It was only myself and my small family, but he took the time to show us everything he could and tell us all about backstories...paying careful attention to our young son and making sure he was "entertained". The planes are really cool. Some of them are very old, but he boasted that most of them are still air worthy (apparently one of the only museums in the country with so many air-worthy planes). It's not very big, but is the perfect day trip destination to spend an hour or two at. Pricing was reasonable as well. Would highly recommend if you haven't been there yet.

If you love WWII history and aviation this is definitely the place for you. People come from many different states to take part in this event. There are recreated villages and encampments, a radio station (with Abbott and Costello, and others), a officer's club, vintage store, wonderfully restored era aircraft and automobile. Some rare aircraft often take part in this event. A must for any history buff, aviation buff, or anyone interested in military memorablia

The Mid-Atlantic Air Museum is perhaps a tad smaller than some, but it's jammed packed with aviation history, much of it dating to World War II. Every June the museum sponsores World War II Weekend, attracting people from all over the U. S. Volunteers dress in the military garb of WWII, carry weapons dating to that war, perform battle re-enactments daily. Big bands and vocalists play and sing the tunes our GI's enjoyed back then. The volunteers erect tents of the WWII era and sleep in them at night. There simply isn't a thing to compare with the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum's World War II weekend. If you missed World War II, here's an opportunity to taste that time. For those who fought in WWII it's to wander through one's own past. Rides in some of those beautifully restored World War II aircraft are possible for a fee.

The yearly World War II weekend is a must for all history buffs. The static airplane displays, the military reenactments, the aerial demonstrations, the recreated villages ad encampments bring to light what the previous generation had to go through. The reconstruction of theP61 Black Widow is a amazing project...it will be the only air worthy one around. The availability of flights n actual world war two airplanes is a enjoyment second to none. If possible make plans to visit the yearly event....you will not be disappointed.

It was my first visit that I can remember of an air museum outside of the Air & Space here in the DC area. So it takes some wow to make it pay off.... Would have ranked this as a 3; but as a photographer it ranked a 4.... We did this as a slow way from the DC area to Philly, and that was not a bad thing! The MAAM as it known is not that bad. The docent wandered a bit, and even repeated himself many times when looking at the Wildcat they had on display. The hanger area was the highlight (including vintage soda machines according to my fiancé). Plenty of opportunities for us photographers to have fun on the tarmac. Along with one the only channel wing aircraft outside of the US A&S museums. In our travels we try to go out of our way for things that interest us. Given that, i might have ranked it a 4 - but trying to rate things based our enjoyment as a couple...
