Welcome to EAA Chapter 327
website. Our chapter consists of about 70 members distributed among the tri-states. Our
membership includes a broad experience and knowledge base, that of flyers, builders, and
enthusiasts, from fixed wing to rotorcraft.
Meetings are open to the public and held on the third
Thursday of each month at the U.D. Flight Center at KDBQ 7:00
p.m. Occassionally, our meeting is hosted by a local airport,
usually a member of our chapter. We have programs throughout
the year, dependent upon availability of speakers,
etc. |
