This will be followed with a YE event back here at Rutland at KRUT in August on either the 9th or 23rd, time will tell. We will again being Co-hosting with Ch. 353. Details as we get closer. These should be fun with more planes & pilots offering a variety for the families attending.
These free flights are for youth ages 8-17.

If the child has flown with us before, please bring their YE logbook

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.
