From W. Broadway (US Hwy 10 W) --- turn South onto Aviation Way (beside "Life of Faith" church), curve right to Stop sign; turn left onto Corporate Way, follow it past the FedEx building to the intersection at the large red Neptune Complex business sign. Turn left and drive 100 yards until you see the East LZ Hangars with the small popup viewing tower. We are at the first (corner) hangar you see. Park in front of the hangar. Google maps or Apple maps work best if you input "EAA chapter 517". (input the above address and you end up at the red Neptune sign; 100 yards short...)
