EAA’s Eagle Flights® is a free introductory flight experience and informal mentoring program designed to welcome and encourage adults who want to discover flying, but don’t know how or where to take that first step. It begins with a hands-on introduction, where you’ll fly with a local EAA-member pilot who will let you follow along at the controls of the airplane to get a feel for what being a pilot is all about.
After the flight, he or she can help you learn more about how to get involved in your local aviation community, including the next steps you can take on the path to becoming a pilot.
The best part? The whole experience is free. No sales. No pressure. Just a whole lot of fun and education with a big take-home point: Your dream of flying is a lot closer than you think.

Eagle Flights Day
Feb. 24, 9-11:30
Payson Airport
register at flyingstart.org
Ages 18 and up
This Eagle Flights Day will NOT include the Flying Start presentations, but those will occur later. The reason for this is with our typical wind and turbulence patterns, we want to be finished flying by 11 AM.
Anyone who can fly or help on the ground is very welcome. The Youth Protection Program does not apply, although there are references to it in a couple of the screens that you may see.
We have limited it initially to 30, but we have many more requests so we would like to expand to at least 40 Eagles.
Thanks for all your help and support!
