Idiot's Guide to Sport Flying

 
Welcome to EAA Chapter 602

This is the internet home of the Adirondack Chapter 602 of the Experimental Aircraft Association. We are located at the foothills of the beautiful Adirondack mountains of upstate New York, at Edinburg Airport (1F2), Edinburg, NY. We hold monthly membership meetings on the last Monday of the month, and guests are always welcome. Walk in, drive in, or fly in and enjoy the fun! Our club received its charter on June 8, 1978, and has a rich history in sport aviation.

      The club had a consensus of opinion that the most enjoyable and memorable events are the ones that come together in a few days around good weather. We want to try and encourage more fly-outs as a group. If anyone has a good idea for a fly-out through out the year and is planning a flight, we would like to encourage reaching out to the club. The best way to reach a lot of people is thru the EAA602 Yahoo group.  If that's not possible then regular email or old fashioned phone chain.
