What is the EAA?<\/h2>\n
EAA is an International Organization founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1953 by a small group of individuals who wanted to take advantage of the new federal regulation that would allow the licensing of homebuilt aircraft. The new certification was to be included in the “experimental” aircraft category, thus the name of the new organization became The Experimental Aircraft Association.<\/p>\n

EAA Chapter 569 has helped host EAA’s historic B-17 when it was in Lincoln in 2008, 2011, and 2014.<\/p><\/div>\n
Who We Are<\/h2>\n
Throughout the year, our chapter holds meetings and participates in various aviation events throughout the community.
![\"We](\"http:\/\/eaa569.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Capture-600x451.png\")
We periodically hold “Builder’s Tours”, where we visit the project sites of our members who are building.<\/p><\/div>Our chapter serves to provide a gateway to knowledge and new experiences. Our members have a variety of flying experiences including student pilots, experienced private pilots, and highly qualified professional and military pilots. <\/p>\n
A number of our members fly homebuilt aircraft that they have built themselves. There are several projects under construction in a wide variety of types. Many of our members fly factory built planes ranging from simple trainers to complex twins. Also represented in our group are warbirds, ultralights, power parachutes and classics. And some of our members are not pilots and do not own aircraft. Their sole connection to aviation is that they love airplanes and belong to our group in order to feed their passion.<\/p>\n
Whatever your aeronautical interest, you will find a fine level of camaraderie at EAA Chapter 569.<\/p>\n
