Ft. McHenry is a small national park (only a couple of acres). Would it be allowable to fly around, but not over the park?

My bad, it is a national monument, but still run by the NPS.Ft. McHenry is a small national park (only a couple of acres). Would it be allowable to fly around, but not over the park?

Are you sure? I'm showing it outside the BWI class B airspace. There are numerous heliports around, but B4UFly, Airmap, and Hover show advisories, but not restrictions over the fort and the harbor area... I'm new to this whole airspace thing, thus my questions here...Ugh! The fort is just inside the inner ring (sfc to 10000ft) of BWI which is Class B! So no flying, even as a hobby flyer without prior authorization! You might try talking with the airport manager (410-859-7018), his office should be able to connect you with the tower. If not, you'll have to go through the online procedure to request an authorization which may not work if you don't have your Part 107 ticket.
Thanks for the info. I knew this was the place to check it out...As I stated earlier, in both the sectional and airmap, the fort shows up inside the ring. The 5 miles don't nessecarily apply for class b. The airspace inner ring goes out beyond the fort into the harbor. The smaller diameter ring on the sectional is the VOR compass ring and has nothing to do with airspace.
