The first state to ratify the US Constitution with beautiful beaches.
Fun fact: No sales tax and no state corporate income tax!
Dover AFB's Air Mobility Command Museum and 166th Airlift Wing anchor the First State, New Castle (KILG) hosts a busy corporate base, and Georgetown (KGED) serves booming beach traffic with the Delaware Aviation Museum Foundation's B-25.
Best season: April–June and September–November are ideal; summer coastal thunderstorms and heavy beach traffic, plus winter coastal lows, mark the edges.
Airspace: Dover AFB Class C and the DC SFRA just west are the headline constraints; summer beach surges fill coastal fields.
