An absolutely magical morning with representatives from our entire Federal delegation visiting the Hagerstown Aviation Museum! So grateful for our U.S. Senators Van Hollen and Alsobrooks, as well as Congresswoman April Delaney, for their commitment to Western Maryland.

Many people aren’t aware that Hagerstown has a regional airport that generates, conservatively, $136 million in economic revenue annually. Hagerstown is also a hub for aerospace and defense technology, and home to the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics, a premier aviation mechanic school. (This is in addition, of course, to the exceptional museum!)

Amazing things are happening in Western Maryland and I’ll never stop advocating for our “little” corner of the state.

May the 4th be with you!!
The Razor Crest from The Mandalorian wasn’t just imagined it was inspired. Designed by Jon Favreau and Ryan Church to echo the rugged, utilitarian feel of the A-10 Thunderbolt II, both are built tough, armed, and made to last more flying workhorse than sleek fighter.

From Hagerstown to a galaxy far, far away… that legacy still flies.
