The Experimental Aircraft Association's Chapter 511 was chartered in 1975 with 23 members. We now have over 60 members and we meet at the Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30pm. The meetings usually consist of chapter business, a speaker on a wide range of topics, and aviation comradery (hangar flying). Sometimes the meetings occur offsite, such as when we hold our annual Poker Run, picnic at Greenmount International, or join in the aviation games at New Market.  We happily welcome new members (membership brochure).
