EAA Chapter 600 at St. Augustine

At our March general meeting, Ken Harp shared with us a conversation he had while in Oshkosh recently: That the St. Augustine Chapter 600 may be reinstated.

First, there needs to be genuine interest to start a chapter on the field. Although this would be a completely separate entity from SAAPA, EAA shares the same values and principles, so many of our members may consider joining.

Are you a former Chapter 600 member? Would you like to see Chapter 600 reinstated? Are you interested in joining EAA for the first time? For those curious, but not sure about EAA membership, they mey offer a free six-month membership (I checked their website, but could not verify this).

Let's start the discussion here

EAA member Benefits:

Membership makes you part of EAA's grassroots community of aviators and innovators who've been sharing their passion and experience with one another for more than 53 years.

Membership also gives you thousands of opportunities to go flying at local aviation events, participate at your local EAA chapter, and give youngsters their very first flight through our world-renowned Young Eagles program.
Being an EAA member puts the association's 50-plus years of hard-earned flying know-how right at your fingertips in our monthly magazines, members-only website, e-newsletters, and staff of on-call experts.

If that's not enough reason to join, membership offers valuable resources, makes flying more affordable, and protects your right to fly.

Join EAA today and EAA membership will:

• Connect you with fellow members
  
• Provide opportunities to participate
  
• Deliver resources to enhance your participation
  
• Make flying more accessible and affordable
  
• Protect your right to fly and grow aviation
  

EAA is sponsoring International Learn to Fly Day, May 15th. This is just one of many events (like Young Eagles) EAA supports:

I am definately interested in becoming a member of the EAA 600 chapter!

Per Ken Harp at today's SAAPA meeting, this is still in "pending" status. If you have any comments about an EAA chapter at St. Augustine, comment on this thread.
