Missouri has a rich aviation history, and what better way to share the spirit of aviation with others than to sport the new “I’d Rather Fly” license plate?
This website brought to you in part by the following sponsor:
Since the fall of 2017, Chapter 944 of the Experimental Aviation Association has been developing a specialty license plate with a general aviation theme for the state of Missouri.
Chapter 944 is a 501c3 non-profit education organization located in Chillicothe. President is local flying enthusiast Cliff King of Lake Viking.
To meet the last D.O.R. requirement, the chapter must pre-sell the first 200 plates. They have met over half their goal, but are still running short to meet the criteria. The funds will go to support and promote general aviation all over the state of Missouri through grants and scholarships.
EAA Chapter 944 volunteers participate in the Young Eagles Program and are responsible for more than 2,880 free rides in airplanes for youth ages 8-17 introducing and inspiring kids to the world of aviation. They participate in the EAA Advanced Air Academy for weeklong camps designed to introduce teens to aviation through technical and classroom seminars where they get to discover the unlimited opportunities a career in aviation has to offer.
One member of the chapter has been involved with Challenge Air for nine years, which is an organization founded in 1993 that has flown over 37,000 Special Need Youth. These are just a few of the programs that Chapter 944 is involved in.
You are invited to help Chapter 944 meet the goal of 200 pre-sold license plates. By doing so, the spirit of aviation will come to life on the road as well as in the air, and the chapter can continue to support those who dream of being pilots. The plates are available for auto, truck, motorcycle, and motorhomes. The process of buying a plate is quite simple. Go to https://eaa944.org. EAA Chapter 944 is a 501c3 Educational Organization.
