EAA, the Experimental Aircraft
Association
www.eaa.org, is a growing and
diverse organization of members with a
wide range of aviation interests and
backgrounds. EAA was founded in 1953 by
a group of individuals in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, who were interested in
building their own airplanes. Through
the decades, the organization expanded
its mission to include antiques,
classics, warbirds, aerobatic aircraft,
ultralights, helicopters and
contemporary manufactured aircraft. More
importantly, the organization focused on
people, offering the opportunity to make
new aviation friends and form
relationships while encouraging the
sharing of information, stories and
enthusiasm.
The focus of EAA is communication,
through publications, Chapter network
(approximately 1000 Chapters worldwide),
websites, AirVenture
www.airventure.org and numerous
other programs. There is literally
something for everyone. You don't have
to be a pilot or aircraft owner to be a
member of EAA. You can find different
ways to fulfill your aviation interest,
whether it's participating in EAA's
Young Eagles
www.youngeagles.org (with the
original, achieved goal of giving one
million kids an airplane ride by the 100th
anniversary of powered flight and
subsequent goals of 100 000 rides per
year) or visiting the world's premier
aviation event . . . EAA AirVenture
Oshkosh. For the long-time aviation
enthusiast and pilot, EAA has programs
and activities that allow you to meet
others with the same interests. If you
have dreamed of flying, but didn't
realize you could participate, we invite
you to join EAA. Learn more about what
we have to offer. More importantly, meet
others just like you.
Today, aviation is competing with other
recreational activities. Therefore, we
want you to feel welcome. We must share
the opportunities available and invite
you to the multitude of EAA events that
showcase aviation at its best. Whether
you are interested in building, buying
or owning an airplane; seeing the
world's greatest air show performers;
meeting aviation personalities; or just
enjoy being around airplanes, EAA is for
you!
