Founded in the Midwest in 1953, the EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT ASSOCIATION is now an international organization with nearly 1000 chapters across the USA and around the world. Membership in EAA is open to anyone interested in sport aviation: professional pilots, weekend pilots, and non-pilot aviation enthusiasts. Members who own or rent aircraft use them for transportation, but their primary interest is in flying just for the pure pleasure of it - the true definition of "Sport Aviation." EAA encourages hands-on construction, repair, and rebuilding of aircraft both at home or as a group activity at chapter facilities. Chapter 533 is no exception.
