ABOUT OUR CHAPTER


We have been around since 1977 and our purpose is to foster interest, promote safety, and provide educational opportunities in matters related to aviation within our community.


In 2006 we realized our dream and built the facility at KTDZ. It features a modern learning library, a well equipped shop, and adequate hangar space for completing projects. Click below to view a Youtube video about it.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PAYING YOUR DUES

Each month you probably sit down, like I do, to pay your monthly bills. Gas, electricity, water, possibly rent and other bills that make up your monthly cost of living. On top of your normal bills, you sometime have others. Maybe your hot water tank needed replacement, or your furnace needed repair. Your lawn mower may need an oil change or new blades, or a faucet needs to be replaced. The list goes on.

Then there are the store items. Paper towels and toilet paper, you may buy bottled water or cleaning supplies. If you like to work in your garage, as I do, you may buy new tools or have older tools that need repair. The list goes on……

EAA Chapter 582 is no different. We have expenses as well. Rent, electric, gas and water bills, repair bills and other expenses. We pay for those expenses with dues and donations. That’s how we pay for the opportunity to do the things we do at the airport.

Our annual dues are $50. That hasn’t changed in a long time. Trust me when I tell you, especially considering the facility we have and the things we do, it’s cheap! I belong to several other clubs and other organizations for my various hobbies; most are several times that amount!

If you have paid your dues, thank you for supporting your chapter!


If you haven’t……

We have a system that automatically notifies you when your membership is up for renewal. We ask that you please pay them promptly. If you haven’t paid dues for a while, please pay them. It’s how our chapter survives.


Paying your dues is easy! They can be paid RIGHT HERE online.


Or simply write a check and give it to one of our chapter officers or board members.


I also encourage those that attend our events, like the Hangin’ at the Hangar weekly cookouts, CAR’S, PLANE’S & COFFEE, pancake breakfasts, or any of our events to please utilize the donation jars we set out at each event. That money is what keeps those events going!


Thank you,

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO LET US KNOW IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND MEETINGS!


A Welcome to 2026. As many of you already know, there’s a new sheriff in town! Mike Whitescarver has taken over the presidential duties at EAA 582, and he has plans! Mike plans for 2026 includes bringing back some of the programs that went by the wayside after Covid. Regular monthly meetings, builder’s meetings, breakfasts, and so much more.


One of the hardest parts of planning and executing these programs is knowing how much food to prepare, how many seats to set up, how many beverages to buy and how many program copies to make. You don’t want to run out, so you over prepare, buy too much food and make too many copies. Unfortunately, a lot of times this creates a lot of waste.


When programs are announced, please help us to better plan events with enough food and while minimizing costs and waste.
