Stop Wondering and Start Flying

Have you ever wondered what your neighborhood looks like from the sky? Or what it feels like to lift off the ground in a private airplane? Or what ion the world all those buttons, dials and switches in the cockpit are for? How many times have you seen airplanes soaring in the sky and wished you could be playing in the clouds, too? To all those who have ever dreamed of flying, you’ve landed in the right place.

Put on Your Wings!

When our great, great grandparents were alive, they could only dream of soaring like an eagle. Now the EAA Young Eagles Program wants to offer you the chance of a lifetime -- to turn your dreams into reality.

EAA wants to offer everyone between the ages of 8 and 17 an opportunity to fly in a private airplane with a qualified pilot. It’s safe. It’s fun.  It’s free.  And it’s fantastic!

Soar High with the Young Eagles!

By experiencing a Young Eagle flight, you’ll join the more than 800,000 Young Eagles who have entered the wild blue yonder. Our goal is to have 1,000,000 young people grace the skies by the 100th anniversary of flight in the year 2003!

So if you’re ready to share the skies with the likes of the Wright Brothers, Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart and Neil Armstrong, then come on board, buckle up and let you spirits soar with the Young Eagles!
