Welcome!

The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) is an international aviation organization of aviation enthusiasts of which Chapter 1398 is a proud part. EAA members enjoy a variety of airplanes, including "experimental" aircraft, which are those built by individuals rather than a factory.

The EAA, headquartered in Oshkosh, Wisc., has more than 170,000 members worldwide with local chapters in all 50 states. Members come from all age groups and walks of life, including commercial pilots, engineers and business persons. The EAA sponsors several aviation education programs, including the Young Eagles, designed to foster young people's interest in flying.

 

A word from the president

Hello EAA friends,

I would like to thank everyone for coming Saturday, we had a very good turnout! We've probably got the record for the longest EAA meeting ever held, it lasted longer than our Air Derby last September. Merrel Blaylock of Special Products Aviation did an excellent job on his fabric covering seminar and was also very entertaining.

We had several guests, 4 from Chapter 122, 3 from Chapter 165, 3 from Oklahoma (don't know the chapter number) and a few from other towns that were not affiliated with any chapter or organization. All in all we probably had about 45 people, some of which came during the afternoon session.

I want to remind everyone that at our next meeting April 8, we will be flying a group of Young Eagles from Pine Bluff and we will be grilling Hot Dogs for them as well, more on that later. Meeting time is 10:00 a.m. at my hangar, we will have a brief safety meeting prior to flying. Let Brenda or myself know as soon as possible if you are able to fly or help on the ground.

Thanks,

Bob

 

Flying High!

On September 10, EAA Chapter 1398 sponsored an air derby and fly-in at the Hot Springs airport. It was a soaring success!

Events included an air race, a skydiving demonstration, spot landing contest, RC aircraft demonstrations, as well as a toy glider flying contest for youngsters and static displays of various aircraft, including Warbirds, ultralights, experimental and antique planes. Concessions also were provided.
