What is EAA?
The Experimental Aircraft Association is an organization that promotes all forms of recreational aviation.
The EAA was organized in 1953 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by some individuals who were interested in building
their own aircraft. Over the years it has grown to include all types of aircraft, from ultralights to
commercially manufactured aircraft. An interest in aviation is the common denominator that brings our people
together, in good fellowship and sharing. The EAA is a national organization and has local chapters,
such as ours, all over the world. You don't have to be a pilot to join in, the only requirement is a love
for aviation.
