If you’re looking for community and resources, you can’t afford to miss this.

EAA isn’t just another clubhouse for weekend pilots. They offer hands-on training that helps you become a sharper mechanic. As a member, you can access instructional videos about riveting, sheet metal work, avionics wiring, and even vintage dope and fabric repairs. There are even live in-person classes. With over 900 chapters nationwide, you’ll easily meet fellow aviation enthusiasts. Want the chance to go flying? EAA members take guests up all the time.

The real shining accomplishment of the EAA is AirVenture, the world’s biggest aviation event held in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Picture 600,000 people and 10,000 aircraft all in one place—classes, demos, job fairs, and nonstop flyovers make it a total plane-lover’s paradise.
