Young Eagles
The EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 by the National EAA organization to introduce young people ages 8 through 17 to aviation by giving them a free ride in a general aviation aircraft. To date, more than two million Young Eagles have enjoyed a flight through this program. Young Eagles have been registered in more than 90 different countries and have been flown by more than 42,000 volunteer pilots. For more information, click on: eaa-young-eagles-program.
