January Young Eagles

  On January 26, 2025, EAA Chapter 1445 held its first Young Eagle's event of the year at Chandler Municipal Airport (KCHD).  Four pilots flew 9 Young Eagles.  It was a cloudy and cold (for Arizona), but pilots, Young Eagles, and ground support volunteers had a great morning.  The cool temps contributed to better airplane performance and the stable air lead to some really smooth flights.
