Young Eagles

NOTICE:  Our Next Two (2) Young Eagle Rallies are scheduled for: Sept 6, Sept 13, 2025.  Registrations will open approximately one month before each Rally.  Go to: YEday.org to register once reservations are open.  Register early as slots fill up quickly.  While we do accept "walk ups" during a YE Rally, registered/scheduled YE have priority.

Note:  Young Eagle flights are available outside of scheduled Rallys on an as-available basis given volunteer pilot availability.  Contact the Chapter YE Coordinator (below) for further information.

The EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 to give interested young people, ages 8-17, an opportunity to experience flight 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 2.2 million Young Eagles have enjoyed a flight through the program. Young Eagles have been registered in 93 different countries and have been flown by more than 42,000 volunteer pilots.

Participation is easy! Click here to email your contact information to the Chapter 122 Young Eagles Coordinator. He'll connect you to one of our volunteer pilots, or invite you join us for our next Young Eagles Rally at an airport in the Greater Harrisburg area. 

Most Young Eagle flights last 20 to 30 minutes. Back on the ground, there will be additional time to ask questions... Ask away! Your pilot will be happy to tell you more about flying and their particular plane. You’ll also receive an official Young Eagles logbook signed by your pilot. 

Our goal is to for you to thoroughly enjoy an introduction to the exciting world of aviation. We look forward to flying with you and adding your name to the ever-growing list of EAA Young Eagles!
