Our History:

EAA Chapter 34 was the first EAA chapter established in North Texas and has been serving all those infected with the Spirit of Aviation since before 1957.  We're an education based 501(c)3 who works with a servants heart to educate and support those interested in preserving our freedoms necessary to sustain your rights to design, build and fly both Experimental and Certified aircraft in the United States.  Furthermore, we've been actively engaged in introducing both the young (8 to 17 yrs) and old (18+) to the thrill of their first flight, all free of charge.  In fact, EAA 34 has flown over 2,800 youth in the EAA Young Eagles program over the years.  In addition, our members have the diverse skills necessary to teach all comers how to select and build their experimental aircraft.  Today, thanks to our EAA National parent organization, we're funding several young deserving individuals in their quest to earn their Private Pilots Certification via the James Ray Scholarship fund.  One of our current top priorities is to increase the number of scholarships we grant in support of serving youth who have a serious desire to engage with our EAA organization and achieve their pilots and/or mechanics certifications.

ALL ABOUT THE EDUCATION AND FUN - Our chapter is comprised of some of the most energetic, fun, skilled and diverse individuals in the country who are brought together by our common interested in aviation and the STEM related technologies which surround it.  Chapter leadership strives to provide as much value as possible to our chapter members and the local community by conducting both educational and entertaining events, such as:
