Flabob Airport, Riverside, CA

Chapter Gatherings

The heart and soul of EAA chapters is the monthly gathering of its members. This gives us the chance to meet new people, learn about aviation, participate in exciting activities, and talk airplanes.

Come gather to learn, socialize, share a meal, and just talk airplanes.

“The warmth and friendship and good fellowship is noticeable immediately upon arrival and one has a feeling that ‘there are no strangers here.’” Paul Poberezny, EAA Sport Aviation®, July 1963
