Airpower Museum, Long Island’s only flying military aviation museum, will hold its first-ever Annual Flight Line Flea Market Saturday, Sept. 21, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at Republic Airport, Hangar 3, 1230 New Highway, Farmingdale.
The flight line will be transformed into a flea market experience. We will host a host of vendors from near and far as they offer their wares of vintage antiques, books, collectibles, clothing, toys, and more! Enjoy your shopping experience with our historic hangar and aircraft backdrop, period music classics throughout our hangar, and food and drink for purchase, including delicious hot dogs, potato knishes, and soda, served hot from one of our favorite local food trucks parked outside Hangar 3.
Admission to visit our Flea Market is the normal daily admission, which includes entrance to the museum where you can see our squadron of legendary aircraft, both operational and static, on display, including the North American B-25 Mitchell Bomber, Douglas C-47 Skytrain, Grumman TBM-3E Avenger, Republic F-105D Thunderchief, Fairchild/Republic A-10A “Warthog,” and many more. While visiting, you can also purchase and schedule a ride in one of our two North American T-6 Texans or on our popular open-cockpit Red WACO Biplane!
Admission for adults is $15, seniors & veterans $12, and children $10. AAM members, active military/guard/reserves free with ID. For more information call (631) 293-6398, Wednesday through Sunday, 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. or email to: [email protected].
