    Young Eagles Program




    Young Eagles Day, August, 1997

    The National Experimental Aircraft Association set the ambitious goal of flying 1,000,000 kids between the ages of 8 and 17 by the end of the year 2003. The goal came very close to being met. Since then kids are still being introduced to flying through the Young Eagles Program. Each child who receives a young eagles flight is awarded a certificate of the accomplishment, a picture of he or she with their pilot, and his or her name is entered into the worlds largest logbook. In order to continue providing an introduction to aviation to kids, each chapter or EAA member still flies as many kids each year as they are comfortable with at no charge to the child, always considering weather, time of year, and foremost, safety. Chapter 342 has in the past, flown children on several Saturdays during the coarse of a year. Goals have been established as to the number of rides to be given each year, and the goals have always been exceeded.

    Dates for the 2009 Young Eagles flights have not yet been determined. Please check back here periodically for an update on this program, or for more information , please contact Larry Johnson, Young Eagles Coordinator, (307) 632-6091.

    Here are some photos of Keith White and Larry Johnson giving Young Eagles flights.
