Our Mission

The mission of Chapter 846 of the Experimental Aircraft Association is to support the growth of EAA, safety of aviation, and promote sport aviation through education, training and fellowship. The Chapter introduces area youth to aviation through the use of Young Eagles flights and educating them about aviation. The Chapter promotes all facets of aviation by presenting programs and activities which are available to anyone interested in aviation. 

Welcome to our Chapter

Whether you fly, build, restore or simply enjoy airplanes and aviation, you are welcome to attend our events and join our chapter. 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, and serve the local aviation community.  We support the next generation of pilots and airmen by offering programs to introduce young people to aviation. Join us at our next meeting or event as our guest.

Over the last 40 years, our members have:

• Built or restored 65+ aircraft
• Provided scholarships to young people to attend the EAA Air Academy
• Awarded a Ray Scholarship to a young person to help them achieve their private pilot's license.
• Offered free airplane rides to almost 4,000 kids between the ages of 8-17 at our annual Young Eagles Day. 
• Offered countless workshops, seminars, cookouts, fly-ins and fly-outs.
• Earned designation as a Gold Chapter, every year since the beginning of the Chapter Recognition program, recognizing chapters that have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to aviation. 

We love aviation and we would love to have you join us.
