FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HAGERSTOWN, Md. — March 14, 2026 — The Hagerstown Aviation Museum will unveil a new original oil painting, An Enduring Legacy of Flight, created by nationally recognized artist Larry Selman. Commissioned by the museum, the artwork highlights some of the most influential people and aircraft in the history of Fairchild Aircraft, a company that shaped American aviation for more than 75 years.
Founded in 1925 by Sherman Fairchild, Fairchild Aircraft produced groundbreaking aircraft from its first model in 1925 to its final production in 2001. Selman’s artwork honors this legacy—celebrating not only the visionary engineers, designers, and crews behind these innovations, but also the iconic aircraft that propelled advancements in manned flight.
The public unveiling will take place Saturday, March 14, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. at the Hagerstown Aviation Museum.
“This painting captures the spirit of innovation and the people who made Fairchild a leader in aviation history,” said Kurtis Meyers, curator and vice president of the Hagerstown Aviation Museum. “We are proud to share this tribute with the community and honor Hagerstown’s aviation heritage.”
Limited-edition prints and posters will be available for purchase.
