The EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 to give
interested young people, ages 8 - 17, an opportunity to go flying in a
general aviation airplane. These flights are offered free of charge and
are made possible through the generosity of EAA member volunteers.
Since 1992, more than 1.3 million Young Eagles have enjoyed a flight
through the program. Young Eagles have been registered in more
than 90 different countries and have been flown by nearly 40,000
volunteer pilots.
The biggest question on your mind might be about the actual flight.
So what should you expect?
First of all, your pilot will explain what will happen during the flight. This
might include talking about the airplane; reviewing an aeronautical
chart (or map); identifying reference points during the flight;
completing a careful "walk around" preflight inspection of the airplane
and identifying the parts that control the airplane.
Once you are ready to go flying, your pilot will help you buckle your
seat belt and describe the interior of the airplane, including the
instrument panel. Pretty soon, it will be time to go flying!
Once in the air, you’ll see the earth and sky in a new and exciting way.
You’ll experience the wonderful freedom of flight that many people only
dream about. If you are like most Young Eagles, you’ll remember this
experience for the rest of your life.
Most Young Eagle flights last between 15 and 20 minutes. Once back
on the ground, there will be additional time for you to ask questions
about the flight. Ask away! Your pilot will be happy to tell you more
about flying and their particular airplane. And don’t forget, you’ll also
receive an official Young Eagles certificate, which is signed, by your
personal pilot and our Chairman Harrison Ford.
To learn more about the Young Eagles Program or to schedule a
flight, feel free to contact EAA Chapter 1252's Young Eagles
Coordinator Mike McCoy at 440-846-0360.
