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.
