New home for Able Ace at Oakview Mall

On Sunday, 10/6 we moved the Able Ace facility from our previous spot in the Oakview Mall to the new place. We’re on the upper level, next door to Riddle Jewelers in the former PacSun store location.

Able Ace is the home of two EAA 80 build projects, a Kitfox and a GlaStar. It’s also used by the Omahawks R/C Club, Aviation STEMaha, and The Heartland Organization of Rocketry (THOR). EAA 80 holds its meetings there part of the year.

The new space is somewhat smaller than the old one, but still a great location to work and get our aviation and STEM community a little exposure to the rest of the world.

Chapter Picnic September 8th!

The September meeting will be replaced by the chapter picnic on September 8 at noon, at the Plattsmouth airport. There will be no presenter. The chapter will provide burgers, brats and drinks. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share.

Ford Tri-Motor Visit and Rides Aug 11-13

Recall the energy, passion, and excitement of the Roaring ’20s by flying aboard the Ford Tri-Motor. Known as the first luxury airliner, the Ford Tri-Motor redefined world travel and marked the beginning of commercial flight.

All ticket proceeds support the Experimental Aircraft Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to sharing The Spirit of Aviation with everyone. Our tour stops are hosted by volunteers who are passionate about sharing the Ford Tri-Motor’s stories.

We invite families to visit and learn all about our aircraft and our organization. Viewing the aircraft is free, so be sure to bring your camera along.
