EAA Chapter 477

We had warbird aerial photographer Ron Malec giving a presentation on air-to-air photography at our meeting this past weekend. He did an outstanding job in explaining the entire process to safely take great photos. Well done, Ron.

Next month we will be flying Young Eagles prior to our meeting on Feb 14th. We'll have a presentation on powered parachutes for our meeting topic.

The chapter did a presentation at Charleston Southern University last month to the members of the CSU Aeronautics Club about the Experimental Aircraft Association. They have a great club made up of impressive students interested in pursuing aerospace careers. CSU has a very good aviation program for anyone interested if furthering their education in aviation.

Last week EAA Chapter 477 flew 12 cadets of the Edisto High School Air Force Junior ROTC through the Experimental Aircraft Association's Young Eagle's program. A nice, enthusiastic group of teenagers. In 2024, the chapter flew 88 Young Eagles, adding to the 2,300,000+ children EAA volunteers across the country have flown since it's conception. The chapter will be holding a Young Eagle Rally on March 22 at the Lowcountry Regional Airport in Walterboro.
