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.

  • IMC Club: The IMC Club will hold their next event on September 2nd 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. More Info Here.
