President's message - September 2026
Hello everyone,
Please join us on Saturday, October 3rd, at EAA Chapter 14 as we celebrate our Chapter’s 70th
anniversary! We received our charter as EAA 14 on October 5,1956.
Not only are we one of the oldest, but we’re also one of the largest and most active chapters in
the EAA. And as part of that, we will be celebrating our recognition as a Gold Chapter for 2025,
hanging up our 2025 EAA gold Chapter award in Hangar #1.
Thanks to all of our members, pilots, volunteers, Young Eagles and parents who once again have
made it possible!!
To celebrate our anniversary we are hosting an open house, pancake breakfast and BBQ. The festivities will
include a free morning pancake breakfast at 9:00 AM, hosted by members
of our Young Eagles program. We’ll also be having BBQ lunch with all the
fixings at 1:00 PM. A donation of $10 would be much appreciated.
And we are also looking forward to our annual holiday dinner the first Saturday in December, save the date and watch your email for more information.
Please join us for these events and help us, along with our members and friends, to celebrate
EAA Chapter 14.
Best regards,
Trinidad Lopez
President, EAA Chapter 14

Getting to our chapter has changed! Because of construction going on right next to us at Brown Field, it is a bit puzzling on how to get to us. We are right next to the FAA Control Tower, so enter at Gate 4 (Call EAA from the access pedestal to open the gate.) Drive through Gate 4, then turn left into the construction site. Turn right at the fence along Taxiway Alpha and keep driving on the dirt road past the Tower until you get to our hangars. The picture shows the basic route as of right now. The roads that are shown on the Google screen shot have been covered up by the construction, so just follow the red lines.
We want to say Thank You to our great members and volunteers - and we’re happy to welcome new members as well!
Any questions, please contact President Trinidad Lopez at 619-661-7117.
Hope to see you there.
We are a group of aviation enthusiasts, aircraft builders, and pilots who get together with like minded people to share ideas, exchange information, encourage safety, serve the local aviation community and have a lot of fun doing so. Please come to our next meeting or event as our guest.

On meeting days, we serve breakfast in the hangar from 8:00 to 9:30AM, waffles or pancakes, eggs and sausage for $5.00
Meetings start at 10:00AM with a brief discussion of chapter business, followed by a guest speaker. Most programs are eligible for WINGS credit.
