Membership is open to anybody who's interested in aviation of any kind. Although most members have an interest in restoring or building their own aircraft many members have an interest in using their regular aircraft for pleasure. Membership of EAA South Africa does not include membership to EAA International. Application forms: available on the downloads page (as a printable version) and as an online application.
