Message from the President
EAA 240 is proud to be rated a Gold Chapter by the EAA National organization. EAA National introduced the Chapter Recognition program with Bronze, Silver, and Gold ratings based on the range of activities a Chapter undertakes annually. We are one of the most active EAA Chapters along the East Coast! We conduct fly-outs twice a month to let non-pilots experience the joy of flight where we share a meal, visit a museum or other worthy location. Our chapter actively supports multiple student pilots with scholarship funds used at our on-field flight school.
Our chapter is also very active in Flying Young Eagles, youth ages 7-17, to experience their first flight and expose them to the fun and challenge of flight. We have top-notch facilities with a large hangar for building aircraft, with a well-equipped tool shop. Also, we use the hangar meeting room to conduct educational presentations, utilize a flight simulator, and hold various other events.
Come visit us at New Garden Flying Field (N57) to see exactly what we do. All necessary information can be found on this website, along with contact emails for chapter officers if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you at one of our chapter meetings in the near future!
