Our Mission

EAA Chapter 17’s mission is to grow local participation in aviation by
promoting the Spirit of Aviation.

Sky Ranch Youth Aviation

Since 2019, the Sky Ranch Youth Aviation Program has aimed to teach youth aviation skills and teamwork to create the next generation of aviators. Our chapter has enjoyed a close relationship with and is heavily invested in the success of this program.
