The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), announced Wednesday (December 1) it has “has surpassed 250,000 members for the first time.” EAA membership has spiked 25 percent over the past five years. The association attributes the growth, in part, to people turning to flight training and aircraft building during the Covid 19 pandemic “as the fulfillment of a personal dream.” EAA reports its total of lifetime members has also swelled to new record totals in the same time period.
