What this chapter is about

EAA Chapter 1298 is built around grassroots aviation, practical learning, and community. The chapter welcomes experienced builders, active pilots, future aviators, families, and people who simply want to be around real aircraft, real projects, and real aviation friendships.

Build

Homebuilt aircraft, workshop culture, fabrication, restoration, and members helping members solve real project problems.

Fly

Experimental aviation, light aircraft, ultralights, chapter flying activity, and airport-centered community events.

Inspire

Young Eagles, youth outreach, and a welcoming path into aviation for the next generation of builders and pilots.

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.
