WHAT WE’RE ALL ABOUT

Our group of aviation enthusiasts, including aircraft homebuilders, pilots, mechanics, CFIs, retired veterans, and others with an interest in aviation, meets monthly at the Skagit Regional Airport to discuss our mutual interests, to share the status of our current aircraft projects, and to be enlightened by a featured speaker with an adventure to share. Our major activity is teaching high school students how to maintain aircraft through our Sky Flight program. We also host barbeques, pancake breakfasts, and volunteer work parties at the Skagit Airport. And we participate in local fly-ins, such as in Anacortes and at Mears Air-Field in Concrete, WA.

You don’t have to own an aircraft or even be a pilot to join the Chapter. An interest in aviation is all that’s required, and a desire to become actively involved with a great group of people.

One of our most anticipated events is flying children from the ages of 8-17 years of age, free, through our Young Eagles Program sponsored through the EAA Organization in Oshkosh, WI. Chapter pilots volunteer their time and the expense of aircraft fuel to ensure that any child can experience the thrill of flying. This event requires just as many “ground-crew” volunteers as pilots. On average, we fly 60 children every year in the summertime during these one-day events. For details or to reserve a seat, please contact Scott Bushnell or Richard Lewellen at the numbers below.

We hope to hear from you–or better yet, to see you at our next meeting.

For more information, please feel free to contact the chapter president.
