Build. Fly. Learn. Belong.

At EAA Chapter 1298, aviation is more than airplanes. It is a gateway to confidence, community, and the future.

Here in Brooksville, Florida, we bring together pilots, builders, mentors, families, and young dreamers around real aircraft, real projects, and real opportunities to learn. We celebrate grassroots aviation with homebuilt and experimental aircraft, hands-on chapter activities, and a welcoming hangar community where questions are encouraged and everyone can take part.

Our Young Eagles program gives young people the chance to experience the excitement of flight and imagine themselves in aviation. For youth ready for the next step, our scholarship support helps open the door to flight training.

Whether you fly, build, volunteer, or simply want to discover what aviation can be, you belong here.

What this chapter is about

EAA Chapter 1298 is built around the spirit of our motto: Build. Fly. Learn. Belong. The chapter welcomes experienced builders, active pilots, returning pilots, younger future aviators, families, and people who simply want to be around real aircraft, real projects, and real aviation friendships.

Fly

Experimental aviation, light aircraft, ultralights, chapter flying activity, and airport-centered events that keep people connected to real local flying.

Learn

Young Eagles, mentoring, first questions, first projects, and practical aviation learning for kids, teens, new builders, new pilots, and anyone growing into aviation.

Belong

Whether you already fly, are still learning, or are simply aviation-curious, you are welcome here. Chapter 1298 is a place to meet people, ask questions, lend a hand, and feel like part of the group.

Real chapter community

Chapter 1298 is about more than airplanes. It is also about people, projects, breakfasts, meetings, volunteer energy, and the friendships that grow around local aviation.

The chapter is designed to feel welcoming to younger future aviators while still being familiar and useful to long-time members.

Youth aviation matters here

EAA Chapter 1298 values youth aviation and hands-on learning. Young people should be able to visit, see real aircraft, ask questions, and imagine themselves becoming future builders, pilots, and aviation problem-solvers.
