The most forested state with rocky coastline and lobster tradition.
Fun fact: Has the most lighthouses of any US state - over 60!
Bangor (KBGR) was a Cold War transatlantic refueling stop and the Maine Air Museum preserves that story; today Portland (KPWM) and a network of small and grass strips serve coastal tourism across the most forested state.
Best season: May–October is the window; coastal fog, spring mud on private strips, and early icing make it short but spectacular.
Airspace: Portland and Bangor Class C/D handle most traffic; the vast northern timberlands are uncontrolled with CTAF-only ops, and military low-level training routes cross the interior.
