Welcome To EAA Chapter 297's Homepage!
| EAA Chapter 297 was chartered January
15, 1968 in Wilmington, North Carolina and met in members' homes
in the early years. Initially, there were ten members who
lived in the Wilmington and Chadbourn areas. As the chapter
grew, the Columbus County members formed their own Chapter in
Chadbourn. In the mid-1970's, the chapter met in a leased hangar at the Wilmington Airport until a Chapter building and hangar were built at Debose Field (now Stag Air Park, Inc.) in Pender County near Burgaw in 1987. Today, the chapter's membership has grown to almost 100 members and meetings are held the first Saturday each month starting at 10:00 a.m. Visitors and new members are welcomed, so come visit us! |
