Young Eagles

Chapter 40 Young Eagle Flights     

Each month, EAA Chapter 40 offers free flights to youth, our Young Eagles ages 8 through 17, weather permitting. 

The EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 to give interested young people 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.
