Welcome!
Whether you're a pilot, building or restoring an aircraft, or just a sport aviation enthusiast, we'd love to have you drop in on one of our Chapter 477 meetings! Then if you'd like to join our Chapter you can print and fill out a "paper" membership application here, or use our online form here.
Monthly Chapter Meetings: We typically meet the 2nd Saturday of each month at the Lowcountry Regional Airport (Walterboro). Most meetings will begin in the main building/FBO and move into a hanger for lunch. The meeting "officially" starts at 10:30 but some arrive early for coffee & socializing. The agenda generally begins with a speaker, technical presentation or EAA video, followed by chapter business. Then we finish up with lunch! Check out the Calendar of Events page for more details.

EAA Chapter 477 Aviation Scholarship
2025 Recipient: Zhannah Jacobs
|
On behalf of the seven members of Our Chapter Scholarship selection committee, I am pleased to announce that our 2025 recipient of a $5000 scholarship is Miss Zhannah Jacobs of North Charleston. This was a very difficult decision this year because all three candidates are fine young people, and all three have been our own Chapter Young Eagles. We wish them all the best in their future aviation adventures.
Zhannah is a Junior at R.B. Stall High School, where she is a leader in Air Force ROTC. She plans to continue her aviation studies in the military after she completes her private certificate. She is looking forward to being with us at Young Eagle rallies, and other chapter activities as her schedule permits. I know I speak for us all in congratulating her. Please give her a hearty welcome to Chapter 477. I would also like to express my appreciation to all the generous Chapter members who made it possible for us to achieve our "matching gift" goal. We have come a long way since our first scholarship of $500! Update as of July 2025: Ziggy soloed out of the Walterboro Airport on June 26th |
