Welcome to EAA Chapter 479, your local hub for the Experimental Aircraft Association right here in Picayune, MS and surrounding areas! ✈️
We are more than just a chapter; we are a vibrant community of pilots, aircraft builders, dreamers, and aviation enthusiasts united by one thing: a boundless passion for flight. At its core, EAA Chapter 479 is dedicated to promoting and preserving the spirit of aviation through active education, hands-on activities, and spirited fellowship.
A Home for the Next Generation of Aviators
We believe strongly that the future of flight rests with today's youth. EAA Chapter 479 is passionate about educating the next generation of aviators, and we actively encourage families and their children to join our ranks. If you have a son or daughter who dreams of the sky, our chapter is the perfect place to nurture that interest.
You can expect to be part of the action, whether it's at our monthly meetings, our exciting fly-ins, our transformative Young Eagles rallies (which give many youths their first free airplane ride!), or skill-building workshops.
No matter your experience—from seasoned aviator to a family simply curious about the sky—EAA Chapter 479 warmly welcomes you to join our journey!
Contact Jason, Brian, Jesse, or Marty to get started with us. We would love to have you on our team!
