Young Eagles

Are you between the ages of 8 and 17? Would you like a free introductory flight in a real airplane? Chapter 174 is an active participant in EAA's Young Eagles program.

Young people participating in the program receive a Young Eagles certificate and have their name entered in the World's Largest Logbook at EAA Headquarters in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. You'll receive a photo of yourself with your pilot and airplane as well.

Over the last ten years, Chapter 174 members have been directly responsible for introducing over 1000 young men and women to their first experience of flight in a small aircraft! The Chapter has done its part in assisting the National EAA organization to reach its goal of more than 1,000,000 Young Eagles flown prior to the centennial celebration, in 2003, of the Wright Brothers' first flight. For more on the Young Eagles program, go to the EAA's Young Eagles site.

For 2011, the Chapter plans to focus on monthly Young Eagle flights with Sporty’s.

If you are interested in participating in one of these flights, please contact the chapter's Young Eagle coordinator (eric_laing2@yahoo.com) and provide him with the children's names, phone number, and email contact. He will add you to the waiting list and contact you with a specific date when a flight becomes available.
