Open Cockpit Season Finale 2015
A recap of the last Open Cockpit Day of the 2015 spring/summer season at the Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum.
1911 Curtiss Pusher Replica Lands In Baltimore
On Monday, August 20, Lockheed Martin will celebrate it's Centennial with employees at the company's Middle River facility. Lockheed Martin's Middle River facility currently employees 400 people working on the MK 41 Vertical Launching System and Littoral Combat Ship for the U.S. Navy and a number of new initiatives in nanotechnology and renewable energy. On Friday, an historic vintage aircraft arrived at Martin State Airport.
With pilot Bob Coolbaugh at the wheel, the flying replica of a 1911 Ely Curtiss Pusher aircraft flew into Martin State Airport in Middle River. This aircraft will be a featured presentation at the Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum's National Aviation Day on Saturday, August 18 from 11am - 3pm. Coolbaugh built the 1911 Ely Curtiss Pusher and flew the aircraft to Middle River from the Eastern Shore. When the museum and Lockheed Martin asked us to bring the airplane up here for the Glenn Martin Centennial, I jumped at the chance, Coolbaugh told WBAL's Scott Wykoff on the tarmac moments after he landed the vintage aircraft after doing a few flybys of both the airport and the historic Lockheed Martin Facility in Middle River. just because you're tying it all together. You know you have the Wright Brothers, Glenn L. Martin, Glenn Curtiss, and we are all flying these strange airplanes and to be able to bring this for the people up here for the people of Baltimore at Martin State Airport is a good thing for us.
In 1912, aviation pioneer Glenn L. Martin founded his company and the Lockheed brother founded their company the same year. In 1995, the Lockheed Corp. and Martin Marietta merged to form Lockheed Martin, which is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland and employs nearly 10,000 Marylanders. Today, Lockheed Martin's Middle River facility is one of the company's longest operating facilities. Glenn L. Martin moved his company to Baltimore in 1928, officially establishing Middle River as the company headquarters in 1929. This National Aviation Day is set aside to recognize aviation achievements was established in honor of Orville Wright's birthday. The Museum will also be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Glenn L. Martin Company. Joining the Museum for this event will be the 99's, Silver Wings, the Baltimore Chapter of the American Rosie the Riveter Association, and 21st century space technology pioneer Blaze Sanders with Solar Systems Express.

Glenn L. Martin Company
The Glenn L. Martin Company was an American aircraft and aerospace manufacturing company that was founded by the aviation pioneer Glenn L. Martin. The Martin Company produced many important aircraft for the defense of the United States and its allies, especially during World War II and the Cold War. Also, during the 1950s and 60s, the Martin Company moved gradually out of the aircraft industry and into the guided missile, space exploration, and space utilization industries.
In 1961, the Martin Company merged with the American-Marietta Corporation, a large sand and gravel mining company, forming the Martin Marietta Corporation. Then, in 1995, Martin Marietta merged with aerospace giant Lockheed to form the Lockheed Martin Corporation.

First solo flight in 4K GoPro
This little video shows my first solo from entering runway to exiting runway. It includes 2 touch-and-go and 1 full stop landing.
I started the first discovery flight on June 20, 2018 and officially begin my first flight course on July 4th, 2018. The solo was my 19th flight course. By the time of solo, my hour on log book is 26.8 including 1.6 hour of discovery flight and 1.4 hour too-early cross country flight.
I began my flight course with Middle River Aviation and have been with many different instructors, Bill, Dave, Matt, Ryan, Florina, Bruce, Michael and Don. I thank all of them. Don endorsed my Solo.
Well, I understand even though solo is probably only 1/3 of the total progress towards the final PPL, but it is indeed something worth celebrating and remembering.

Martin 187 Baltimore
The Martin 187 Baltimore was a two-engined light attack bomber built by the Glenn L. Martin Company in the United States, originally ordered by the French in May 1940 as a follow-up to the earlier Martin Maryland, then in service in France.

Construit sur la base du Martin 167, le Martin Baltimore était un bombardier léger construit selon les spécification de l'USAF. Celle ci ne l'utilisa jamais et les utilisateurs furent la RAF, l'armée de l'air canadienne, australienne et sud-africaine.

MGM-1 MATADOR GUIDED MISSILE GLENN L. MARTIN COMPANY 49904
“X Minus Zero” opens with a United States Air Force general briefly explaining the purposes of that branch’s missile test center — such as flight-testing guided missiles. The circa 1958 film’s purpose, he reveals at mark 00:45, is to give the viewer “a much clearer understanding of our mission.” The film shows a flawless launch of a guided Matador surface-to-air missile, but the narrator quickly explains that much work was put into the launch prior to countdown. The viewer receives a history of the missile’s development starting at mark 03:27 and news of how the government contracted with the Glenn L. Martin Company, a Baltimore aircraft and aerospace manufacturing company, to develop and build a self-propelled, sub-sonic missile that could be remotely controlled and reach a target in a span of minutes. The result was the Martin MGM-1 Matador, the first operational surface-to-surface cruise missile built by the United States. Much attention is place upon checks and safeguards prior to firing, beginning with its arrival at Patrick Air Force Base in Brevard County, Florida, at mark 04:45. A map at mark 06:34 shows the planned trajectory of one test flight, with additional details about the path and planning detailed as the film moves along. Air Force personnel keep the testing area free of human occupancy with search planes and boats, as is shown starting near mark 12:00. As we watch scenes of the systems being constantly checked and rechecked, the missile is ready for launch at mark 16:30, finally taking to the sky at mark 17:15. “This is only the beginning,” the narrator claims. “We wonder what the future will bring.”
The Martin MGM-1 Matador was the first operational surface-to-surface cruise missile built by the United States. It was similar in concept to the German V-1, but the Matador included a radio command that allowed in-flight course corrections. This allowed accuracy to be maintained over greatly extended ranges of just under 1000 km. To allow these ranges, the Matador was powered by a small turbojet engine in place of the V-1's much less efficient pulsejet.
Matador was armed with the W5 nuclear warhead, essentially an improved version of the Fat Man design that was lighter and had a smaller cross section. A single US Air Force group, 1st Pilotless Bomber Squadron, was armed with the weapon, keeping them on alert with a six-minute launch time. It could be easily retargeted, unlike weapons using inertial guidance systems. Accuracy at maximum range was about 1 mile (1.6 km), which allowed it to be used against any large target like troop concentrations or armored spearheads.
First flown in 1949, Matador entered service in 1952 and left service in 1962. Matador carried several designations during its lifetime, originally known under the War Department's system as SSM-A-1. By the time it was introduced to service the Air Force had been created, and they referred to them as bombers and assigned it the B-61 designation. It was later re-designated TM-61, for tactical missile, and finally MGM-1 when the US Department of Defense introduced the tri-service aircraft designation system in 1962.
