Programs
Members of EAA Chapter 1611 are firm believers in expanding participation in and understanding of general and recreational aviation, as well as educating our area youth. As a chapter, we have a number of offerings to facilitate these goals. Talk to us about joining EAA and EAA Chapter 1611.
And have some programs available just for younger folks, like free "Young Eagles" flights for ages 8-17. See below for that and more.
Perhaps you've dreamed about being able to fly yourself. Are you interested in airplanes or possibly learning to fly? See below for free "Eagle Flights" for 18+. We can get you started and point you in the right direction, and get you set up with some trial memberships too. And if you decided to take up lessons at a local training facility, we'll be here to help you along the way.
Already a pilot or student pilot and want to be better prepared for abnormal situations? See IMC and VMC Clubs info below.
Want to get your hands dirty and learn aircraft construction materials, methods and techniques?
We have a general chapter meeting the third Thursday of each month. Everyone is welcome and we would love for you to join us. The more the merrier!
