Eastern Shore Aeromodelers Club
AMA Chartered #4095
Our mission is to enjoy and promote the art and sport of model aircraft flying and to develop interest within our local communities. To encourage kids to get involved in a hobby that will promote their enthusiasm to learn and to have fun. Our members range from 17 years old to 91 years old drawn together by a common interest in “things that fly”. Most Sundays when the weather is favorable there are 8 to 15 pilots at the field. Members are free to use the field at any time that suits them.
Open meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at the field May thru August and in the Old Hurlock Train Station during the winter months when temperatures or daylight don’t support meetings at the field. Meeting time is 7:00 PM and visitors are welcome.
