The Old Line State offers Chesapeake Bay, mountains, and colonial history.
Fun fact: Home to the US Naval Academy and the first dental school!
Glenn L. Martin built bombers on Middle River, and Martin State (KMTN) plus the Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum keep the legacy; College Park is the world's oldest continuously operating airport, though it lives deep inside the DC FRZ.
Best season: April–June and September–November are best; summer thunderstorms and humidity, plus year-round capital-region TFRs, complicate plans.
Airspace: The DC SFRA and FRZ require special VFR corridor compliance near College Park; BWI (KBWI) Class C plus Patuxent River and Andrews military traffic add layers.
