Chapter Gatherings
Every month, on the first Saturday at 11:30am, members from EAA Chapter 1702 gather at Quad Cities Aero to share a potluck meal, fellowship, and enjoy learning about an aviation related topic. Our gatherings are family friendly and open to all who have a passion for anything and everything aviation! We welcome you to visit and join us in growing “The Spirit of Aviation” here in the Quad Cities.
If we are hosting our gathering at a location other than Quad Cities Aero, we will note the location on our Events Calendar as well as sending an email.
