Please note that you will have to scroll down on this page until you see the Young Eagles registration. A recent change in the Young Eagles scheduling page hasn't worked out real well for users but we have notified management at EAA about the problem.
A Flying Start Day is scheduled for May 17th. This is for adults who are wanting to learn to fly. We have a short program and then take attendees for a an airplane ride for free. The link to schedule for this event is https://flyingstart.org/
We are also planning a camping flyout to Trigger Gap airfield in Arkansas in late May and another in late September/ early October. We fly down the first day, fly to multiple grass strips in the mountains in the Trigger Gap area on the second day and return home the third day. It is a great time!
