Who are we?
We are the Wharton County chapter of the Experimental Aircraft
Association. We are a small but enthusiastic group of people who love
airplanes. Some of us own modern aircraft, some fly antique aircraft,
some have built and own experimental aircraft, and some of us just like to be
around flying machines.
Welcome!
EAA Chapter 896 welcomes the River Bend Squadron of the CAF to the Wharton Regional Airport. The squadron has acquired a hangar at the airport, and is
making plans for restorations and airshows! Click here to visit
their web page.

For many years EAA Chapter 896 put on a one-day
Fly-In at the Wharton Regional Airport. The Fly-In attracted pilots
and non-pilots from all over Texas, and even some from out-of-state. The
annual gathering gave airplane lovers a chance to show off their airplanes, and
to look at others’ airplanes. The WhartonKosh Fly-In is no longer being
held, but you can see some pictures of past fly-ins in the Photo Album section.
Through The Speck & Vel Morgan Memorial Scholarship, Chapter 896 has
given over $10,000 to support students enrolled in aviation-related
programs. Click here for
