Wings over Willamette Fly-In & STOL WARS is just 10 days away!

We hope you're as excited as we are for a weekend full of airplanes, friends, and aviation fun.

A big thanks to Rosen Sunvisor Systems, who will be on-site with a sampling of their visors. Matt will be there with his aircraft on display and also flying in STOL WARS! You’ll spot Rosen gear installed in plenty of the other planes on the field too.

Come see what’s new, meet the people behind the products, and get ready for an unforgettable event!

Just a short preview from one of our STOL practices!

EAA 292's Wings over Willamette is in just a couple of weeks! Saturday’s packed with airplanes, food, and aviation forums. Rian from Van's Aircraft will be sharing the backstory on the development of the RV-15 — and yes, the plane should be on-site. Excited to have Juan Browne back - He'll be hosting a panel on STOL Saturday evening and annoucing the action Sunday during STOL WARS.

Many aviation groups will be joining us at this event:
The Recreational Aviation Foundation, Oregon Pines Ninety-Nines, Oregon Pilots Association, Oregon Aviation Historical Society, WAAAM, IAC Chapter 77, and many more! These groups will share what they do for aviation and the community. Of course EAA292 will be showcasing the many youth aviation related programs that we run - its definitely a family friendly event.

Food and drinks served throughout both days, including our on-site dinner event Saturday night (limited spots so get your tickets early).

If you've got a spark of interest in aviation, come check it out!

ago and immediately jumped in and got involved
with 292. She was soon involved in helping to plan

Meet the Officers!
Dave Wright
Incoming Secretary

Dave Wright learned to fly in the 1990s while living in the Seattle area, earning a private pilot (ASEL) and instrument rating. Dave has flown the usual Cessnas, Cubs, Champs, Citabrias, and now an RV-12. Dave joined EAA in 2001. In 2012 he ordered an RV-12 kit from Van’s and started building it in his garage in Seattle. After completing the tail, wing, and fuselage kits, and despairing of ever getting a hangar anywhere near Seattle, Dave and his wife Holly moved to Independence in 2015. The RV-12 was finished and first flew in 2017, and it’s still going strong. Dave occasionally threatens to build or restore something else, preferably tube and fabric. Dave retired from a career in software engineering and consulting in 2020 to devote full time to goofing off: This latest venture has been a resounding success.
