Today, EAA is a community of recreational pilots and builders dedicated to sharing a love of aviation.

called the \"Tin Goose\", was the largest civilian passenger aircraft of its time.  Albuquerque shares this unique history, serving as a key stop along the 1920\'s Transcontinental Air Transport (TAT) route.  Still remaining are concrete arrows, foundations for navigation beacons which guided pilots along the route.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong>History Presentations and Displays</strong></span>\r\n\r\nOngoing displays by the <strong>CCHS Airway Heritage Museum at the Grants-Milan Airport</strong> and the <strong>Albuquerque Cavalcade of Wings</strong> will highlight early navigation methods, New Mexico\'s TAT role, and remaining area beacon stations and concrete arrows.\r\n\r\nBook signing by Robert F. Kirk, author of \"<strong>Flying the Lindbergh Line:  Then and Now\", </strong>the TAT\'s Historic Aviation Vision. Robert, and his wife Vicki flew the entire route, researching what remains and will be on hand to share their stories.  <a href=\"https://eaa179.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Kirk_Presentation_Flyer.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img class=\" wp-image-1240 alignnone alignright\" src=\"https://eaa179.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Front-Cover-TAT-Book-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"262\" height=\"189\" /></a>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong>FOOD and FUN!</strong></span>\r\n\r\nEAA 179\'s Susie Reimer has homemade goodies planned, such as coffee cakes and cookies!  Hot dogs and fajitas, too!  All free!  Donations encouraged to support EAA Chapter 179\'s aviation scholarship fund.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>The Golden Age of Aviation - an unforgettable experience for all ages!</em></strong>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2133\" src=\"https://eaa179.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Picture-yourself-in-1920s-luxury.jpg\" alt=\"Picture Yourself HERE\" width=\"600\" height=\"275\" />\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2133\" src=\"https://eaa179.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/EAA_Liberty_TriMotor.jpg\" alt=\"EAA_Liberty_TriMotor\" width=\"600\" height=\"275\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>Directions to Double Eagle II Airport:</strong>   Take I-40 or Paseo del Norte west to Atrisco Blvd.  Follow airport signs to main parking lot (FREE Parking).  7401 Atrisco Vista Blvd;

Albuquerque, NM  87120\r\n\r\nJoin us to celebrate the visit of a 1929 Ford Tri-Motor 5-AT-E to Albuquerque, at the Double Eagle II airport (on the west mesa). This is an example of an aircraft that helped develop the first commercial air service across the United States. If you joined us in 2017-18, we hosted the \"Liberty\" Tri-Motor.  This is EAA\'s aircraft with Eastern Airlines markings, tied to its history.  It flies at AirVenture in Oshkosh every year.\r\n\r\nThis relic of aviation history, affectionately called the \"Tin Goose\", was the largest civilian passenger aircraft of its time.  Albuquerque shares this unique history, serving as a key stop along the 1920\'s Transcontinental Air Transport (TAT) route.  Still remaining are concrete arrows, foundations for navigation beacons which guided pilots along the route.\r\n\r\n<strong>History Presentations and Displays</strong>\r\n\r\nFriday - Sunday displays by the <strong>Albuquerque Cavalcade of Wings</strong> and the <strong>CCHS Airway Heritage Museum at the Grants-Milan Airport </strong>will highlight related aviation history.  Displays will include various model trimotor aircraft designs with ties to Albuquerque, early navigation methods, New Mexico\'s TAT role, and remaining area beacon stations and concrete arrows.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_7162\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"600\"]<img class=\"wp-image-7162\" src=\"https://eaa179.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/EAA-TriMotorInterior.jpg\" alt=\"EAA Ford TriMotor Inside\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" /> Experience the elegance!  EAA\'s Ford Tri-Motor interior[/caption]\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-7162\" src=\"https://eaa179.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/in_flight2-EAA-Ford-scaled-e1710640518731.jpg\" alt=\"EAA Ford TriMotor\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" />\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #808080; font-size: 8pt;\"><em>Fly EAA\'s Ford Tri-Motor at Albuquerque\'s Double Eagle II Airport on the west side! </em></span>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_2133\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"600\"]<img class=\"wp-image-2133 size-full\" src=\"https://eaa179.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/EAA_Liberty_TriMotor.jpg\" alt=\"EAA_Liberty_TriMotor\" width=\"600\" height=\"275\" /> Get your photo with a flying piece of history!  Liberty Tri-Motor[/caption]\r\n\r\nFor weather updates, check our Facebook page:  <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/EAA179/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook.com/EAA179</a>\r\n\r\nThe Liberty Tri-Motor visited Albuquerque back in 2018.

This year we met all 10 criteria with the addition of a Chapter hangar, the Reimer Aircraft Factory.  EAA 179 has received this Award for 2019 and 2020-21 as well as for 2022.\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.714285714rem; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 24px; color: #444444; font-family: \'Open Sans\', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"> <a style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px none; vertical-align: baseline; outline: currentcolor none medium; color: #8000080;\" title=\"Membership Information\" href=\"https://eaa179.org/membership-information/\">I\'m interested, how do I join?</a></span></strong></p>\r\n<strong>Want to Contribute?  DONATE TODAY!</strong>  We appreciate donations of any amount.
