A local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) has been formed and will hold its first meeting on Wednesday May 21st. at 1830 in the Pilots Lounge, Courtenay Airpark. Monthly meetings are planned for the third Wednesday of the month. See listing under 'Events'.
Founded in 1953, the EAA has grown from a handful of aviation enthusiasts to an international organization representing virtually the entire spectrum of recreational aviation. Many of its 300,000+ members belong to local chapters.
An EAA chapter is a local group of aviation enthusiasts with interests ranging from aircraft building, to engaging youth, to aviation safety, to vintage aircraft, ultralights, warbirds, aerobatic flight, and everything in between.
In addition to monthly meetings, the local chapter allows members to share their interest with thousands of other members in a variety of aviation, educational, and social activities such as:
- Aircraft building/restoration
- Seminars/workshops/guest speakers
- EAA Young Eagle rallies
- Fly-ins/fly-outs
- Cookouts
- Fundraising
- And much more!
