Ocean City Municipal Airport
Everyone else takes the bridge.
You've always wanted to fly. Here's where you start.
A Discovery Flight is a real lesson. No medical certificate required. The flight time counts toward your certificate.
Start here
More than a ride. It's your first flight lesson.
A Discovery Flight with Eastern Shore Flight Co. is a real lesson. You'll sit in the pilot's seat, take the controls, and fly the airplane yourself alongside an FAA Certified Flight Instructor.
Not sure whether flying is for you? Two hours will tell you.
How we teach
Built around you, not a syllabus number.
Personalized instruction
Not one-size-fits-all.
Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot Certificate, high-performance endorsement, or simply sharpening your skills. Every lesson is built around your experience, your goals, and the way you learn.
Safety first. Think.
Slow down, then decide.
Every pilot eventually faces a decision that matters. We teach our students to evaluate the situation before they act. Airplanes don't create emergencies nearly as often as rushed decisions do.
Advanced avionics
What working pilots actually fly.
A Garmin GTN 750, Aspen Evolution Pro MAX, and a capable autopilot. Our aircraft also qualifies as a Technically Advanced Airplane, so eligible pilots can log their required TAA time here.
Where you'll fly
Real airspace, from your first lesson.
Towered and untowered fields, coastal and inland, ocean air and afternoon sea breeze. The Eastern Shore gives you variety inside a short flight.
That variety is what builds genuine proficiency instead of just hours in a logbook.
Pilots N Paws
Build Time.
Save Lives.
A Commercial Pilot Certificate takes hours. A lot of them. Most pilots build that time flying circles for the sake of the logbook. There's a better way to spend an afternoon.
Fly rescue missions through Pilots N Paws, moving dogs and cats to the foster homes, rescues, and families waiting for them. You do the flying and the time is yours. An FAA Certified Flight Instructor comes along.
We don't charge for the airplane or for the instructor. You buy the fuel at the end of the day, and that's the entire cost of the flight. Nobody is paid to fly these missions. Not you, not us. An animal gets where it needs to go.
Pilot qualifications, instructor availability, scheduling, insurance requirements, and mission approval apply.
The controls are yours.
Two hours, $199, and no experience necessary. Call us or book online and we'll find a morning that works.
