About EAA Chapter 723
With more than 250 members Chapter 723 of the Experimental Aircraft Association is based in Camarillo. Membership is open to all aviation enthusiasts, pilots and builders. Chapter support includes technical counselors, flight advisors and a technical library to support builders.
The chapter was the host of the annual EAA Camarillo Air Show which for 2009 was conducted on August 22 and 23, 2009. The group is dedicated to building, flying, and displaying experimental aircraft and sharing aviation knowledge with the residents of Southern California. The chapter is active in the EAA Young Eagles program, providing first flights to the youth of local communities. A newly initiated scholarship program will award $15K to deserving Ventura County students in 2010. The association also supports the Aviation Platoon of the Ventura Military Explorers.
Science/Aviation-Oriented Scholarships for Ventura County Residents for 2009-2010 School Year
As a means of giving back to the community and thanks to the success of last year's Air Expo and the generosity of the Gene Haas Foundation scholarships for the 2009-2010 school year totaled $20,000 and were awarded in June of 2009. There are currently $15,000 available for 2010-2011 school year scholarships.

Our Flight Plan
The Experimental Aircraft Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and continuation of the spirit which launched aviation. There are over 1,000 chapters worldwide which serve the interests of aviation enthusiasts. EAA Chapter 723 provides an environment for builders, pilots and aviation enthusiasts of all levels to meet regularly, learn and socialize. Our monthly meetings include an aviation-oriented speaker, an inexpensive lunch and a great bunch of people. Many events are put on each year which serve to introduce aviation to the general public. These range from our annual Camarillo Air Show to technical seminars for builders.
The EAA established a Young Eagles program to expose all aspects of aviation to our youth. Education is a primary goal of the EAA. Youth exposure begins with a no-cost orientation flight arranged through the local chapters and continues with sponsorships to aviation camps in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. In addition Chapter 723 has initiated a scholarship program which awarded a total of $15K to deserving Ventura County students in June 2008. The 2009 program awarded $20K and the 2010 program will award $15K.
Young Eagles flown by Chapter 723 pilots last month: 31 at Camarillo, and 21 at Santa Paula.
