Regular Events

Young Eagles Rallies

Our chapter hosts Young Eagles rallies April through October. We typically schedule them for the second Saturday of each month, but on rare occasions we might change rally dates to accommodate other events. Our rallies start at 9:00AM and usually last until 12:00PM. Registration details are explained on our Young Eagles page. Due to high demand, we do not accommodate walk-ins.

Hangar Nights

Come hang out with highly experienced and very positive pilots, builders, volunteer crew, and aviation enthusiasts. Find us at Hangar #3 (Chapter 461 Hangar on google maps) every Thursday from 6:45PM to 9:00PM (except for the first Thursday of the month – those are reserved for our monthly chapter meetings at IAM).

Chow @Clow

During summer time most Sundays at 5PM until whenever we are done. Bring your own food and drinks. Find us at Hangar #3 (a.k.a. Hangar-461).
