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.

By the smiles on the Young Eagles faces everyone had a great time. Thank you volunteer pilots and ground crew for making the event successful for the kids and parents.

On October 25, 2025 EAA Chapter 1445 held its 2nd Young Eagle event of 2025. Eleven pilots flew 25 kids on a beautiful autumn day at Chandler Municipal Airport (KCHD). Several lucky kids and adults were treated to a short flight in a King Air. A gib thanks goes out to all of the volunteers that made the event successful. Our Air Traffic Controls get a special award with accommodating us due to the fact that there was one runway shutdown which only gave us a single run to use. KCHD is a very busy airport due to the amount of training taking place. Below is a short video that documents the event.
