Here's a great treat for kids and teens. If you are between 8 and 17 years old, the EAA™ Young Eagles Program wants to offer you the chance of a lifetime. Turn dreams into reality on a free Young Eagles flight and become one of over 1 Million Young Eagles.
Beforehand, the pilot will explain what will happen during the flight, i.e. info about the airplane, completing a walk-around, reviewing an aeronautical chart or map and identifying reference points. In the plane, the pilot will help buckle the seat belt and describe the interior of the airplane, including the instrument panel.
Once in the air, you’ll see the earth and sky in a new and exciting way, experiencing the freedom of flight that many people dream about. Most Young Eagle flights last between 15 and 20 minutes.
Once back on the ground, there will be additional time to ask questions about the flight. Plus there's a commemorative Young Eagles certificate, which is signed, by your personal pilot and EAA™ Chairman Harrison Ford.
This looks like a great experience for anyone who's young and interested in flying (I'm a little jealous). To check out more and find nearby chapters of EAA™, click this link.
Wouldn't this make it a summer to remember?
