Young
Eagles is a program offered by the EAA
to introduce young people to general aviation. What better
way to discover the joys of flying than to actually go for a free
ride in a plane!!
Since 1992, more than 1.3 million kids have been flown by
nearly 40,000 volunteer pilots. Chapter 579's pilots,
supported by our ground staff, have flown more than 11,000 young
people from the Aurora Airport. And we want to fly
more. So come on out. Remember, it's FREE!!

What will your flight be like? First of
all, your pilot will explain what will happen during the flight.
This might include talking about the airplane; completing a
careful "walk around" preflight inspection of the
airplane and identifying the parts that control the airplane.
Once you are ready to go flying, your pilot will help you buckle
your seat belt and describe the interior of the airplane,
including the instrument panel. Pretty soon, it will be time to go
flying! |
Once in the air, you’ll experience the wonderful freedom of
flight that many people only dream about. If you are like most
Young Eagles, you’ll remember this experience for the rest of
your life, and want to do it again. |
Our Young Eagle flights usually last between 15 and 20 minutes.
Once back on the ground, there will be additional time for you to
ask questions about the flight. You will be given a photo of
you and your pilot by the airplane, and you’ll also receive an
official Young Eagles certificate, which is signed, by your
personal pilot and our Chairman Harrison Ford. |
