<strong>History: </strong> The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) was founded in 1953 by a group of people interested in building their own airplanes. Today, EAA is a community of recreational pilots and builders dedicated to sharing our love of aviation. Experimental Aircraft Association, Chapter 179 is a 501c(3) tax exempt charitable organization  chartered in Albuquerque N.M. on August 29, 1963 and incorporated in 1965.
