WELCOME
TO EAA CHAPTER 135
Des Moines, Iowa
Welcome
to EAA Chapter 135 in Des Moines IA. We have about 45 active members,
who enjoy sharing their wealth of knowledge. The group brings a broad
base of building talent including tube and fabric construction, sheet
metal work, welding and composites. Some members are flight instructors,
flight advisors, and technical advisors. Others are A&P's and IA's.
If you have ever thought of building your own airplane, this is the
right place to be. Members can provide technical assistance in all phases
of aircraft construction.
We hold
monthly chapter meetings on the second Saturday of the month, at the Ankeny
Municipal Airport, at Exec One Aviation, second floor conference room,
in Ankeny, Iowa at 7:00 p.m. Occasionally we may meet at other times at
different locations, to view members progress on their projects and to
provide technical assistance and moral support. Check the calendar of
events to confirm our next meeting location, and plan to join us. We'd
love to have you attend
Several members have aircraft Projects under construction
and some already have taken to the air. You may view their aircrafts under

What
is EAA???
The Experimental Aircraft
Association promotes all forms of recreational aviation. It was started
in 1953 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by a group interested in building their
own airplanes. The organization brings people together with an interest
in recreational aviation, facilitating social interaction and information
sharing between aviation enthusiasts. You don't have to be a pilot or
aircraft owner to be a member of EAA. There are many ways to fulfill your
aviation interest. See section under Contact Us to join EAA Chapter 135
