Young Eagles

The Aitkin Flyers love hosting Young Eagle events, and at our last event held on September 18th 2021 we flew 46 Kids!

There will be a Young Eagles event at the Brainerd MN airport on June 11th from 8am-11am.  Please register with Trudi Amundson prior to the event by either emailing (trudiamundson@yahoo.com) or calling (612-963-1536).

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.
