Hello, Welcome to our EAA Chapter
59 web site. I hope you will find your visit interesting and enjoyable.
This web site is dedicated
to the sport of aviation, flying and building airplanes, and being around
other people who enjoy these same types of interests. "EAA Chapters mean
flying, friendship, and fun! Get involved."

UNREGISTERED ULTRALIGHTS MAY HAVE TO BE SCRAPPED
For those 2,000 to 3,000 two-place ultralights whose owners
have not bothered to convert to the Experimental Light Sport
category, the end is near. If two-place ultralights are not
registered and certificated by Jan. 31 as experimental light
sport aircraft, or placed in the Amateur-Built or the Experimental
Exhibition categories, they cannot be legally flown again until
certificated. Scrapping them may be the only solution if such
certification is not completed. The paperwork must be in the
FAA system, not simply postmarked, by Jan. 31. In other words,
you need to submit it immediately. See AOPA
Online.
A Return of the General meetings
On Tuesday Oct 30th, 2007 The Board of Directors of EAA Chapter
59 voted to change the dates and times of the BOD meetings to
the 3rd Tuesday of each month and to include a chapter 59 members
general meeting to be held directly after the BOD meetings.
This is a return to the form and style of the meetings that
we held back before we built the hanger, like it was back at
Joe Nemmers.
The 3rd Tuesday schedule was selected to prevent any conflicts
with our very important Thursday Lunch Bunch and also the 1st
Saturday Pancake Breakfast activities that have become so vital
to the support of our facility.
We hope that this will provide a must greater opportunity for
chapter membership to attend and get involved in chapter activities.
This new BOD and General meeting schedule will begin in December
when the Chapter 59 Christmas party has been scheduled for the
3rd Tuesday of December.
For more information refer to the EVENTS
page.

As with any organization that depends on a volunteer membership
EAA Chapter 59 is always looking for ways to improve and offer
more of what brings its members together.
Kenny Grisham has created a web page where anyone can access
and even enter their own ideas about what they (that's you)
would like to see within our chapter.
Just click on the link here
