From its beginnings in the late '50s, Chapter 54 of the Experimental Aircraft Association has served aviation enthusiasts, dreamers, aircraft builders, pilots, would-be pilots, and individuals interested in helping young people become aviators in the East Metro of Minnesota's Twin Cities.
We hold a gathering on the second Monday of each month at the Chapter House at Lake Elmo Airport (21D) to talk aviation and socialize. We provide Young Eagles rides and aviation scholarships. We help people who are building airplanes. We meet on Saturday mornings for coffee and doughnuts. But you don't need to be a pilot to participate in our activities.
Please come to our next gathering as our guest. Let us know you're coming so you can be properly greeted and introduced to the chapter.
JULY GATHERING |
| At our July gathering on Monday July 13, we'll focus on designing a plane's paint scheme. It can be a daunting task, but with careful planning and consideration, you can achieve a look that you will love for years to come. Whether you are an aircraft owner looking to repaint your plane to prevent corrosion or wanting to express your personal style, it is essential to take the time to figure out the design you want. In this process, you may choose to work with a professional designer or create your own layout. Social hour at 6:30 p.m. Meeting starts at 7. Details. |
