We would like to introduce you to EAA Chapter 1083, we are 1 of over 1000 registered world wide chapters, of
the Experimental Aircraft Association which has it's home office in Oshkosh Wisconsin. We are a non-profit group
made up of people who have an interest in aviation. It is not necessary to be a pilot or aircraft owner to
enjoy our group, just being an aviation enthusiast makes you eligible to join in the fun. We do have
many personally owned aircraft within our membership, aircraft ranging from new sleek cross country general aviation
machines, vintage aircraft from years ago, to experimentals or homebuilt kit aircraft, new light sport
aircraft and ultralights. Our mission is to promote the sport and hobby of recreational aviation, and encourage others
to experience the thrill of flight. We encourage all our members to "ride along" on trips, sharing the
glories of flight with other pilots around the area.
Our Monthly Business meetings are scheduled for the 2nd Tuesday of the month at Rowan County Airport, in our Hangar named
the EAAgles Nest (see picture below) Other monthly activities include a scheduled
flight activity, our First Saturday Lunch, a Tech Meeting.
We always have
many special events planned each year, like poker runs and "spring retreat" at Lumberton NC, where we
go and camp out as a group. Look on our our upcoming events on our events calendar and scheduled activities
pages for more information.
