What is EAA?
The Experimental Aircraft Association is an organization that promotes all forms of recreational aviation. The EAA was organized in 1953 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by some individuals who were interested in building their own aircraft. Over the years it has grown to include all types of aircraft, from ultralights to commercially manufactured aircraft. An interest in aviation is the common denominator that brings our people together, in good fellowship and sharing. The EAA is a national organization and has local chapters, such as ours, all over the world. You don't have to be a pilot to join in, the only requirement is a love for aviation. Join Our Chapter! Monthly meetings are on the First Saturday of Every Month. HEY! Join our Facebook Group!

Chapter News and Announcements

We Need A Vice President!!!
Anita Ammon's new position as a First Officer with Southern Airways Express has her working from Arkansas six days a week. So she has resigned and we need someone to step up and help the other Chapter Officers to keep things moving with our organization and running meetings. It's not that much work but we need someone who is around to help run meetings when the other officers are traveling. There also are a lot of training videos available on the EAA website to help learn what makes a successful and vibrant chapter. Thanks for your consideration.
