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. In 2024 Chapter1402 passed the 500 young eagles flown milestone.
Chapter 1402 Young Eagles are flown on a case-by-case basis for groups or individuals. We currently work with St Clair High School Jr ROTC and the Boy scouts. Please contact the YE coordinator for details.
