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. Join Our Chapter! Monthly meetings are on the First Saturday of Every Month. HEY! Join our Facebook Group!

Chapter News and Announcements

Sept. 5th Chapter Meeting Location Change & Special Presentation by TKI's RealClean Aircraft Franchise Owner
We will meet this Saturday in the large hanger behind the old FBO where we had our pancake breakfast. The entry is to the left of the ATC Tower. Address is 1500 Industrial Blvd. The reasons are that John Cerney is flying his plane out of state this weekend and we have a demonstration of the RealClean Aircraft dry cleaning process on one of the CAP airplanes. She is bringing the donuts this Saturday! We have the eastern half of the hanger. Presentation will be around 10:15. IMPORTANT NOTE: With the new impending TSA security requirements for KTKI, you must have an airport badge if you wish to leave the hanger not by the front door. The airport is serious about this rule for our chapter meetings, so please keep us out of trouble by complying, thanks!

We Now Have A New Vice President and Secretary!
Well, we have two volunteers that stepped up for the VP and Secretary roles. Todd Milburn has stepped up to help as Chapter Secretary and Dave French will help out as our Chapter Vice President. John Cerney and I are grateful for the help and look forward in working with them to help make our Chapter interesting worth being an active member in promoting general and experimental aviation!
Chapter Meetings - First Saturday Coffee and Donuts
