College Park Aviation Museum Bleriot

A full scale reproduction of a Bleriot XI aircraft now on display at the College Park Aviation Museum. One wing was left uncovered to show details of its construction. The plane features a Gnome 7 cylinder engine.

For more information, visit their website, which describes the museum as follows:

"Located at the "World's Oldest Continuously Operating Airport", the College Park Aviation Museum houses a collection of aircraft and artifacts documenting the many historical events for which the airport is also known as the "Field of Firsts" and "Cradle of Aviation"

Established in 1909 when Orville and Wilbur Wright set out to teach the first two Army officers to fly, it became the site of the first Army Aviation School in 1911."
