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
It was on April 13, 2018 when then 13 year old John Bradley Richards flew for the first time. He was a participant in the EAA Chapter 477 Young Eagles program, and his flight that day was in an RV 6, piloted by Pete Winkelmann. Apparently, John Bradley was smitten. He and his father began to volunteer at nearly every Chapter Young Eagles Rally, passing on to others to joy and experience that he had received. When he turned 16, he was accepted into the CRAFT Flight Training and Simulation Summer Boot Camp, and through that program, he was prepared to solo. Following his solo, he passed his written with flying colors, continued his instruction with CRAFT, flying in a Diamond DA-20. After turning 17, the young Johns Island, SC resident and 4.0 High School student, passed his check ride in Summerville, SC, with FAA Examiner Don Hay on June 14, 2022. From Young Eagle to Private Pilot! EAA Chapter 477 is honored to have made John Bradley Richards the recipient of a $500.00 Scholarship. Congratulations, and well done!
