Y.E. Registration

What's this program about?

Have you ever wondered what it's like to fly? Young Eagles don't have to imagine what flying is like. Each Young Eagle will become part of a special group of people who have shared in a common experience - the thrill of flying!

Harrison Ford
Chairman of the EAA Young Eagles Program

Over the course of his career, Harrison Ford has become one of the most popularly acclaimed actors of our time. Aside from his acting career, he also has a deep interest and passion for aviation, which led him to accept the Chairmanship of EAA’s Young Eagles program on March 8, 2004.

A member of EAA since 1996, Ford is a Young Eagle Flight Leader with EAA Chapter 1049 and has flown more than 100 Young Eagles in his deHavilland Beaver and Bell helicopter since he first participated in the program in 2001. Click here for more!

You will have the chance to actually fly in an airplane and look at the world below you. You are invited to take to the skies and become a Young Eagle!

What do I have to do to become a Young Eagle?

	Chuck Yeager Chairman Emeritus Young Eagles
	Retired General Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager was the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound. A World War II "ace" with more than 14,000 hours of flight experience, General Yeager attributes personal achievement to having high goals as a young person: "My beginnings back in West Virginia tell who I am to this day. Mom and Dad taught by example. Whatever I did, I determined to do the best I could at it. Through the Young Eagles Program, kids can learn to set high goals in all walks of life."

If you are age 8 through 17, read this page and have a parent or guardian complete the pre-registration form below.

Then just show up at our next Young Eagles rally at Clermont County Airport on June 14th, 2008, between 8:30 and 10:30 am.

(But please see the important note below!)

At the rally, one of our pilots will help prepare you for a demonstration flight in an airplane. You can ask your volunteer pilot as many questions as you like. In doing so, you'll learn more about airplanes and the principles of flight. That's all there is to it. It's really that simple! For more information on the program, write the Young Eagles Office at: EAA Aviation Foundation, P.O. Box 2683, Oshkosh, WI 54903-2683. You may also e-mail the Young Eagles office at yeagles@eaa.org, or one of Chapter 174's Young Eagles Coordinators.

What happens after the flight?

After your flight, your pilot will complete and mail the Registration Form, so you can:

	Be registered as a Young Eagle.
	Have your name listed in the world's largest logbook on display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, WI, and listed on the Young Eagles website logbook.
	Obtain additional information on other aviation organizations and activities.
	Receive information on scholarship programs administered by the EAA Aviation Foundation.

Will it be safe?

Millions of people fly safely in airplanes every year. However, an airport is not a playground. Listen and follow instructions given by your pilot and follow these simple rules when you are around an airplane:

	Stay away from the propellers.
	Listen carefully for instructions on entering and exiting the airplane.
	Do not touch any part of an airplane without the pilot's permission.
	Stay with your pilot or ground crew at all times.

What will my flight be like?

First of all, your pilot will explain what you will do and see. This may include:

	Telling you about the airplane.
	Reviewing an aeronautical chart and identifying reference points you will look for during the flight.
	Completing a careful "walk around" preflight inspection of the airplane and identifying the parts that control the airplane.
	Helping you buckle your seat belt and describing the interior of the airplane, including the instrument panel.

You will see the earth and sky in a new and exciting way. You will experience the wonderful freedom of flight that many people only dream about. Like an eagle, you will soar among the clouds and understand the many possibilities that flight - and life in general - have to offer. Many people remember this experience for the rest of their lives. You will, too!

A Message for Parents/Guardians

The Young Eagles Program has been developed by the EAA Aviation Foundation to welcome young people into the world of aviation. Aviation is exciting and vital to our nation's future. Your child will experience a safe and enjoyable flight that will give new perspectives on the world and life in general. Participation in the Young Eagles Program will help them understand that an individual's potential is unlimited.
