Airplane Rides at St. Marys Airport
Does anyone have any contact information for rides at the local airport? Maybe there aren't any, but I thought I heard awhile back that there was a guy who took people on rides in a biplane. Does he have a website, or if anyone can give me phone number, etc. I would appreciate it.

Anyone ever been on the ride in the biplane here?!

Thinking about it as a Fathers Day gift... :)

Try Airpark Sales and Service: 301-373-2101. That's the FBO at the Airport. He should be able to point you in the right direction.

Just a thought-
Saturday 6/17 is the Maritime Heritage Festival at St Mary's, why not take Daddy-o to that event?? 10AM-5PM $7.50 adult, $6 seniors and student, $3.50 ages 6-12. Under 6 years free
Visitors can meet boat builders and sailors of hand-crafted vessels and take a 60-minute cruise on the Dee of St. Mary’s, an authentic Chesapeake skipjack, with Captain Jackie Russell!!!
Reserve space ahead by calling 240-895-4960.
The skipjack will sail at 12:30, 2, 3:30 and 5 p.m. and passage is $7 for children under age 12 and $15 for adults.
What a thrill-a cruise in a Skipjack!!
Keep your Dad at sea level!

ok, polite way for me to explain to my wife and daughter that this is what then NEED to do for me on fathers day.
What could be better than spending the day with my daughter at a function like this...


oh, I guess I should include my wife in that what could be better thing.

It should be cool. I know Jackie Russell, the captain, and he is a very interesting guy that loves the bay. Hope you get to go.
