3Chapter 613 Mission
Mission Statement EAA Chapter 613 is an IRS
certified 501C3 Corporation dedicated to the
promotion, encouragement and education of sport
and recreational aviation. It serves
northwestern Vermont and is based out of both
Shelburne Airpark and Franklin County Airport, in
Swanton, VT. Our Chapter has approximately 75
members, most are licensed pilots, many own their
own aircraft. The Chapter endows several
scholarship funds which routinely support
Vermonters in aviation education and training.
Collectively, our Chapter members have introduced
more than 3,000 youth to the joy of aviation and
flying through the EAAs Young Eagles program.
The Chapter is undertaking an ambitious capital
project to construct a permanent home which will
include a classroom, a technical library as well
as hanger space for members and students to train
on aviation projects.
4Chapter 613 Scholarship Programs
Dear Frank Gibney and EAA Chapter 613,I wanted
to thank you all so much for giving me the
scholarship money for flying. I can't tell you
how much I appreciate it. Just to let you know,
I got my private in April. Currently I am at
Northland Baptist Bible College in Wisconsin,
majoring in Missionary Aviation. In the next
couple of years I hope to get my instrument
rating and commercial license as well as
maintenance training. Once again, thank you so
much for making it possible for me to Fly!
