History of the Frederick Model Aircraft Club AMA#331
Frederick Model Aircraft Club is proud to have served Model Aviation and our local community for 85 years. We are the oldest model aircraft club in Maryland and one of the oldest in the U.S.
Frederick Model Aircraft Club was formed on December 1, 1939 and originally named the Frederick Gas Model Club. The club is the oldest known model airplane club in Maryland and one of the oldest in the United States. It is also one of the earliest clubs that joined the AMA in approximately 1968-9 and continues to operate today.
For a detailed look at the club history view the Frederick Model Aircraft History document(PDF) we have created.
