Today we continue this mission by occasional gatherings, and primarily by introducing young people to aviation through the EAA's Young Eagles program. Weather permitting, we offer free flights for Young Eagles on the second Saturday of each month at the Hickory airport, beginning at 9:00am.
We welcome all young people aged 8 through 17 who would like to learn more about aviation. Sign up for our next event at https://chapters.eaa.org/eaa731/young-eagles
