Today, EAA is a community of recreational pilots and builders dedicated to sharing a 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.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://eaa179.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EAA-GoldStar-2022a.png\"><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-5506\" src=\"https://eaa179.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/EAA-GoldStar-2022a.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"69\" height=\"72\" /></a>Chapter 179 has been recognized by EAA with a \"Gold Level Chapter Award\".

Mark will talk about the history of this “grandaddy” of the Helicopter and answer the question, is it really stall proof?

Join Mark Wilson where he will have his modern two place enclosed Gyrocopter at the meeting for you to learn more.  This aircraft is vastly different from the “Flying Lawnmower” of yesterday and the James Bond movies. Mark will talk about the history of this “grandaddy” of the Helicopter and answer the question, is it really stall proof? He’ll also share a personal story of making the “impossible turn” possible.\n\n<i> </i><i><strong>POTLUCK NOTE</strong>:  A surprise dessert will be provided -  consider bringing a main course or side dish.</i>\n\n<b>Where: City Maintenance Facility at Double Eagle II Airport,</b> next to the Control Tower. 7401A Atrisco Vista Blvd NW; Albuquerque\n\n<b>Directions: </b>Take I-40 or Paseo del Norte westbound to Atrisco Vista Blvd and follow airport signs.\nOnce on the Airport road, there is a stop sign before turning left to the main airport parking lot, DON’T TURN LEFT.\nProceed straight through the gate towards the Control Tower. Park in front of the 1st building on the left, marked 7401A. We’ll be in the south maintenance bay.  <i>Look for EAA signs. </i>\n\n<i>Monthly Chapter Gatherings offer time to network, with programs centered on exchanging experiences and ideas about aviation – airplanes, flying, and flying activities – rather than the chapter business which is addressed in bimonthly Board meetings. </i><b><i>We hope to see you there!</i></b>','September 2023 Chapter Gathering','','inherit','closed','closed','','6489-autosave-v1','','','2023-09-18 10:15:38','2023-09-18 16:15:38','',6489,'https://eaa179.org/?p=6567',0,'revision','',0),(6577,1,'2023-09-18 15:34:21','2023-09-18 21:34:21','We invite corporate support which may be designated for <strong>Scholarships, Building Fund</strong>, or our <strong>General Fund</strong>.  All sponsors and individual donors are recognized for contributions at these levels in our newsletter, unless otherwise requested.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=4QT66NGZK24HW\">BECOME A SPONSOR TODAY!</a></span></strong></p>\r\nAnnual Corporate sponsorships offer visibility and advertising options for your organization through our monthly newsletter, website and public events (Young Eagles, DEAA, LOEFI, etc.) as follows:<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4249\" src=\"https://eaa179.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/2023_Sponsor_Levels.jpg\" alt=\"Corporate Sponsor Levels\" width=\"500\" height=\"240\" />\r\n\r\nEAA Chapter 179 relies on membership dues, individual donations, and corporate sponsorships to fund our educational activities including our aviation scholarship program, the <a href=\"https://eaa179.org/loefi/\">Land of Enchantment Fly-In (LOEFI),</a> Young Eagles rallies, aircraft projects, and the Double Eagle Aviation Academy (DEAA).  In 2021, the 179 Board of Directors committed to a long-desired goal to secure a dedicated chapter facility at Double Eagle II Airport.\r\n\r\nIn 2022, we acquired a workshop hangar to support our aircraft build project and serve as a center of activity on the airport.
