The Sunday Flyers recently received an AMA Club recognition and reward grant for $150. The club is located in Middle River, MD.
The club was featured on episode 3101 of "Outdoors Maryland". The club was established in 1955 and is chartered with the AMA for flying fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. The Sunday Flyers currently have 90 members but have had up to 160 members of all ages. They have one flying location with a 350-foot runway located off Bird River Beach Road in Maryland.
The club members meet at their flying field every week on Saturday. Some of the flying field rules include that a person must have an AMA card prior to flying and after three visits, the person must be a Sunday Flyers member.
