About Us

EAA’s local chapters are about people, bringing together individuals interested in learning more about aviation as well as sharing their own knowledge.

Chapter members are involved in a variety of social and educational activities, including Young Eagles rallies, fly-ins, building seminars, and more, to build awareness in the community.

Chapter 231 History

In the mid 1960s, a group of pilots who were interested in homebuilt aircraft began to meet informally at what was then called "Byrd Field" near Richmond, Virginia. After several years of meeting informally, it was decided that the group should become a chapter of the growing EAA national organization. Accordingly, in June 1965, the group officially became the 231st chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association. The Articles of Incorporation were officially registered with the Commonwealth of Virginia a few years later on September 6th, 1969.
