EAA’s Eagle Flights® is a free introductory flight experience and informal mentoring program designed to welcome and encourage adults who want to discover flying, but don’t know how or where to take that first step. It begins with a hands-on introduction, where you’ll fly with a local EAA-member pilot who will let you follow along at the controls of the airplane to get a feel for what being a pilot is all about.
After the flight, he or she can help you learn more about how to get involved in your local aviation community, including the next steps you can take on the path to becoming a pilotr just being better informed about aviation.
The best part? The whole experience is free. No sales. No pressure. Just a whole lot of fun and education with a big take-home point:
After the first flight, the Young Eagles receives their first log book. There is a code on the back of the logbook and once all all the paperwork finished and submitted, it will give the a free student membership to EAA and online training thru Sporty's. Multiple flights are allowed.
On Airport Day 2023, we had 36 Young Eagles flights.
