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, serve the local aviation community, and have a lot of fun doing so. Please come to our next meeting or event as our guest.
Chapter 9 is consistently ranked among the top chapters in the nation for Young Eagles flights, where we provide free flights to local youth.
