The 2026 Great Ercoupe Relay
- 2026 Ercoupe Relay Interest - Get On Board!
×
In 2026, the EAA is spotlighting the "Class of 1946" postwar boom aircraft. Since so many of our Ercoupes were manufactured in 1946 this is a natural fit for the club.

1. N2279H is based at Litchfield, IL (3LF)
2. 200 miles is good for me. If I needed to travel to another state Missouri would be the best direction (West).
3. I know of three other Ercoupes in IL (KGRE, KMVN, KSAR). Could be possible to hit these in order (very short flights in-between) if they are also interested. I can reach out to them.
4. I don't have any planned yet but many airports have a fly in breakfast mid to late summer.
5. Airports with landing fees. Shame on them.

Thanks everyone!
Looks like we have GREAT coverage on the west coast. Looking for people to cover the south/southeast, and there's a big hunk MT, ND, SD, UT, CO, NE, KS that's still empty.
If you know any active 'coupers in those areas, put us in touch!

I don’t have my beloved N99340 any more, but we at 7M2 would welcome and give a fuel discount to anyone wanting to stop by! I’ll even buy you lunch on the beautiful White River!

Thank you to everyone who has responded so far!
Looks like we are going to have great coverage on the west coast, and hopefully in the south. I'm building it all into a spreadsheet as your replies come in.
I live in Maryland and my airport is only a half hour from KCGS, College Park Airport where the first Ercoupe flew in 1937. That airport is now inside the Flight Restricted Zone of the Washington, DC SFRA but I'd love to start the relay at that point... guess it's time to begin the background check & fingerprinting necessary to get authorization to fly in the FRZ .
