The American Airpower Museum, known as Long Island’s sole flying military aviation museum, is gearing up for its inaugural Annual Flight Line Flea Market. Scheduled for Saturday, September 21, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the event will take place at Republic Airport’s Hangar 3 on 1230 New Highway in Farmingdale. This unique flea market concept will see the flight line transformed into a vibrant marketplace featuring a diverse array of vendors offering vintage antiques, books, collectibles, clothing, toys, and more.
Visitors can look forward to immersing themselves in a shopping experience set against the backdrop of the museum’s historic hangar and aircraft. The ambiance will be further enhanced by classic period music playing throughout the hangar. Food and drink options will be readily available for purchase, including delectable hot dogs, potato knishes, and refreshing soda served hot from a local food truck stationed outside Hangar 3.
