Our activities include monthly dinner meetings, fly-ins, and periodic outings to members locations as well as Young Eagles Rallies at local airports. Chapter 309 has over 90 members consisting of pilots and non-pilots.

EAA Chapter 309 was founded in 1973 by a small group of aviation enthusiasts. Since that time, the membership has grown in size and experience. Members come with a variety of skill and experiences. Current members have aviation backgrounds ranging from student pilot all the way to Airline Transport Pilot. Several are A&Ps and all share a love of aviation. Membership is open to anyone interested in aviation and learning about the construction of Experimental Aircraft.
