Young Eagles

Founded in 1992, the Young Eagles program is dedicated to giving youth 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.

It’s the only program of its kind, with the sole mission to introduce and inspire kids in the world of aviation.

Today, the Young Eagles program has flown over 2 million kids.

Topeka Chapter 1693 held its first Young Eagle Rally on May 17, 2025

15 kids got their first flight and we saw lots of big smiles afterward

Big thanks to all the pilots and ground crew who helped support this event!
