About EAA Chapter 1298

EAA Chapter 1298 is based at Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport in Brooksville, Florida. The chapter exists to support aviation enthusiasm at the local level through friendship, hands-on learning, aircraft projects, chapter gatherings, and opportunities that connect members across generations.

The chapter identity is rooted in homebuilt aircraft, experimental aviation, ultralights, workshop and hangar life, and community events that keep grassroots aviation active and visible.

Members include experienced aviators, builders, project-minded makers, volunteers, and people who are simply excited to learn more about aviation.
