College Park Continues to be a Field of Firsts

Description

College Park Airport remains a hub of aviation activity, where pilots continue to make records and surpass expectations.

On the runway is Maryland resident Gustavus McLeod in the plane he flew when he became the first person to circle the North Pole in an open-cockpit plane in 2000. He later flew the plane to an air show at College Park Airport and donated the aircraft to the museum.
