From its beginnings in the late '50s, Chapter 54 of the Experimental Aircraft Association has served aviation enthusiasts, dreamers, aircraft builders, pilots, would-be pilots, and individuals interested in helping young people become aviators in the East Metro of Minnesota's Twin Cities.
We hold a gathering on the second Monday of each month at the Chapter House at Lake Elmo Airport (21D) to talk aviation and socialize. We provide Young Eagles rides and aviation scholarships. We help people who are building airplanes.
Please come to our next gathering as our guest. Let us know you're coming so you can be properly greeted and introduced to the chapter.
SEPTEMBER GATHERING |
| Join us at the next regular meeting of Chapter 54 on Monday September 14, 2026. Our guest speaker will be member Donaven Chase, talking his two RVs; one of which he likes, and one he loves. The one he loves cost him $9,000. Join us for a social "hour" at 6:30 pm, with the program starting at 7 at the EAA 54 headquarters at the base of the airport beacon at Lake Elmo Airport. Take the southernmost entrance off Manning Avenue. |
Winds scuttle Young Eagles Day
Gusty winds scrubbed Saturday's Young Eagles Day at Lake Elmo Airport. Though the sun shone brightly and clouds lifted, a persistent wind of close to 20 knots dictated the cancellation of flights for young people. Our top priority is the safety of our Young Eagles and our volunteer pilots.
This was the first cancelled Young Eagles event of 2026. There is one more Young Eagles Day on the season's calendar. It will be held on October 10 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Registration will open soon.
