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.

EAA 80 is Non-Profit

EAA Chapter 80 is classified as a Non-Profit Charitable Organization per section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, we are eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions in accordance with Code section 170. Your contributions will go towards such things as:

  • Aviation scholarships
  • Scholarships to send kids to EAA’a Air Academy in Oshkosh, Wisconsin
  • Helping promote Young Eagles events and rallies for the community
  • Many other events that promote aviation in the Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa region.

EAA 80 is a 100% volunteer organization, there are no paid members to the staff. Our only funding comes from chapter dues and occasional fund raising.
