MAPS Air Museum

The Military Aviation Preservation Society is an all volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to educating people about the history of military aviation. Click HERE or the AIRCRAFT tab above to see a listing of the aircraft in our museum, then click on their name to see their web pages. It accomplishes this mission by acquiring, restoring, preserving, studying and exhibiting the impact of aviation on the culture of man.

MAPS Air Museum is an internationally known museum of aviation and serves as a center of aviation history for Northeast Ohio. The museum features exciting educational displays of its collection of acquired artifacts, interactive exhibits and historical archives in its own library.

Demonstrations are an active part of an aircraft restoration facility, with technical training afforded all personnel.

MAPS raises awareness of military aircraft through special programming at the museum, visitation to schools and groups in the area, as well as participation in aviation events.

The museum will serve as a meeting center benefiting the community through involvement in various outside local activities.

You feel it when you first step into the hanger. Here, you are surrounded by extraordinary aircraft. From the earliest days of flying to supersonic jets, each aircraft is significant in its contribution to aviation history. This is where you can see aircraft that helped to win wars, push the boundries of flight and change the face of society.

History is not made by airplanes, but by the men and women who designed, built and flew them. Our “Gallery of Hero’s” gives you the stores of many of these people: of their sacrifices and their acheivements. You can even see a relic from the USS Arizona, sunk by a Japanese air attack at Pearl Harbor.

Our tour guides will enhance your visit with interesting background about our displays. Who knows? They may even share some of their experiences with you. Ask about tours of the restoration area of the museum.

Whether you have an hour or a whole day, there’s something for you at MAPS.
