EAA 563 is the Peoria Illinois Chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association. We are located at the Mt. Anyone with an interest in aviation can join the EAA.

Hawley airport in the EAA hangar at the south end of the field. At EAA Chapters across the world, aircraft builders, pilots, and enthusiasts gather to exchange ideas and information and to serve the local aviation community. EAA Chapter 563 was chartered June 7, 1976 with 43 members. Today there are about 65 members, with several types of aircraft under construction. Our hangar is at the south end

of the field on Peoria Mt. Hawley airport (3MY). The hangar is 55 by 60 feet, insulated and heated, and includes the chapter breakfast and meeting area plus a washroom. Members may reserve space to house their projects, either under construction or while awaiting permanent hangar space on the field. The chapter offers several youth programs, including some of those organized by EAA headquarters. Together these form the core of our activities as an Educational public charity
