Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 157

Redding, CA

Chapter 157 of the EAA is based at Benton Field, O85, at the north end of the Sacramento Valley. Monthly dinner meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:30PM at our Quonset hut clubhouse at Pleasant and South Streets at the northwest corner of the airport.

The next Young Eagles event will be in Corning on Saturday, May 18th. Preregistration is required at yeday.org

A Father's Day tradition, Aviation Day, returns to Benton Field on Sunday, June 16th. More details to come.

The chapter has a new mailing address, replacing the P O Box. It's 2600 Gold Street, Suite 7, Redding CA 96001. Our physical address, the Quonset hut, 2955 South Street is unchanged

Our Internet service at the Quonset hut is provided by ShastaBeam. If you think you can't have high speed service because of your location, check with shastabeam.com

From the Chapter 157 archives, here's a brief history of the first 60 years of Benton Field (Airpark). It was written in the 1980's by an unknown author, so we can't attest to the accuracy. It's an interesting read. Click here.
