MRE to Participate in Lee Airport Open House to Raise Funds for Charity

Had enough of the Blue Angels? Neither have we, but we have the next best thing!

This Saturday, May 25, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Maritime Republic of Eastport will assist the management of Lee Airport in Edgewater in its first Open House in two decades. The 80 year-old airport's management is inviting anyone who has ever seen an airplane fly overhead to come and see what’s happening at the field. Admission is free!

Featured events include an airshow from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. with a very impressive aerobatic display, a wing-walking demonstration and a surprise act that will leave everyone talking!

Prior to and after the airshow visitors will be able to enjoy all types of aircraft on display including the State Police Medevac helicopter, a radio-controlled aircraft demonstration, live music, food and prizes.

MRE hold a raffle for flight instruction and airplane rides to benefit charity. The first prize will be an aerobatic ride certain to put any roller coaster ride to shame.

We will also be offering commissions in the MRE Air Farce! (All you need to do is buy the official tee shirt!) The famous (or infamous – depending on which side of the harbor you favor) MRE Submarine will be on display, as will the first aircraft of the Republic, the MRE Zeppelin, “Yellowdog.”

MRE proceeds will be donated to the Maryland Chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through the Chesapeake Bay Power Boat Association in memory of Midshipman 1st class Ken Neptun.

Lee Airport is located at 3094 Solomons Island Rd., Edgewater, Md. 21037 (at the intersection of Mayo Rd.)
