Young Eagles rallies are free flights are for youth ages 8-17.
Parental or legal guardian presence required, and must be the same person who signs the release.
If your child has flown with us before, please bring their YE logbook
so we can add the new flight experience.
The number of seats available will depend on number of pilots available.
To sign up for flights, use the online registration form at https://eaachapters.org/event-details/AE1907BUN
Registration opens on Friday, September 5, and closes on Thursday, September 18, 9:00 p.m.
We start setting up around 8:30 for flights to begin at 9:00, conditions permitting.
Second or third flights may be available after everyone has had their turn.
Youth might ride 1 to 3 in a plane, with first-timers getting priority for front seat.
Our goal is to give each youth a front-seat flight.
As we get closer to the date so that the weather forecast is firm, we will post a go/no-go notice
here, and on the chapter's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/EAAKRUT/) by 8:00 p.m. the night before.
