 EAA,
the Experimental Aircraft
Association, 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 our
publications, Chapter network, websites, AirVenture 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 (with a goal of giving one million kids an
airplane ride) 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, I 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 . . .
