Welcome to EAA Chapter 75, the largest, oldest, and most active Quad Cities aviation chapter. Founded in 1959, the chapter's mission is to share the joy of aviation and advancing aviation education with pilots, builders, and enthusiasts alike.   

Chapter Announcements

• Chapter Gatherings: In addition to our monthly 1st Saturday Coffee & Donuts social event, our chapter will hold chapter gatherings every 4th Saturday from January through May and September through November at Revv Aviation, 9230 N. Harrison St., Davenport, IA 52806 from 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM.   

• Chapter Potlucks: In the summer months, June through August, the chapter holds a potluck lunch at noon on the second Saturday of each month at a local airports or airstrips. In December, our chapter hosts a holiday potluck.
  
  
• First Saturday Coffee & Donuts: On December 7th, 8:30-11:00 AM, we hope to see everyone at our 1st Saturday of the month coffee & donuts hosted by Craig Olson  at his hangar. Come and see his 1959 Cessna 180B Skywagon and for some good hangar talk.
  • FLYING: Fly to the Davenport Municipal Airport (KDVN). When taxiing, use Taxiway B to get to the old t-hangar and park on the taxiway or in the grass.
  • DRIVING: Drive to the Davenport Municipal Airport. We will be meeting at Craig Olson’s hangar (G-4). Call Craig at 563-549-0855 for access if the gate is closed.
    
    
• IMC Club: The IMC Club will hold their next event on December 3rd from 6:00 PM to 7:15 PM at Revv Aviation, 9230 North Harrison Street in Davenport, Iowa. The Instrument Meteorological Conditions Club's (IMC) purpose is to promote instrument flying proficiency, and safety. Each month the IMC discusses a flight scenario in which everyone is encouraged to think about what they would do in various instrument situations. The discussions are interesting because everyone brings their own experiences and training. While the topic is typically instrument flying, we have a number of visual Flight Rule (VFR) pilots that participate as well. Are all welcome! Our goal is to make everyone a safer pilot. 
  
  
• Chapter Business Meeting: The Board of Directors will hold a business meeting at 5:30 PM on Wednesday, December 11th at Revv Aviation, 9230 North Harrison Street in Davenport, Iowa. We encourage all of the membership to attend.
  
  
• Chapter Christmas Party - December 14th: We are looking forward to hosting the EAA Chapter 75 Christmas Party. Our cabin, located at 28816 50th Ave., New Liberty, IA 52765, is nestled on the east side of Camp Liberty, by Dixon, IA. Deer frequently visit across the dam and Bald Eagles soar over the tree line of our pond. We want to again share this wilderness experience with all of you during this event. If you are an ad-venturous winter outdoors person, please feel free to bring your attire and enjoy the outdoors for a walk, hike, or cross-country skiing. If you’d rather view the wilderness from indoors, we have binoculars to view from the fireside inside our cabin. Photography is always welcomed. It’s always fun to gather in friendship, have a meal, and discuss the thrill of aviation.
   
  Deer watching and social hour starts at 1:00 pm with appetizers and a Christmas punch. Dinner will be served at 4:00 pm: turkey, ham, potatoes, and drinks will be provided. Please bring a dish to share, plates, and silverware.
   
  Santa is busy this year; instead as a guest you have an opportunity to donate a book, toy, (aviation or non-aviation related) to the Children at the Stead Family Hospital in Iowa City. This is clearly optional, but a great way to bring joy to children who will spend their Christmas at the hospital. Please note that donations should not be gift wrapped. However, gifts can’t be wrapped. They were very grateful for all the donations they received last year.
   
  We look forward to spending a special evening with all of you!
   
  Merry Christmas!
