EAA's Young Eagles program was launched on July 30, 1992 to introduce young people, ages  8 - 17 yrs., to the world of aviation and provide a flight in a general aviation aircraft.   These flights are offered free of charge and are made possible through the generosity of EAA members and volunteers.  Since the beginning, more than 1.5+ million Young Eagles have been flown with more that 40,000+ EAA Members volunteering their time, aircraft and expenses to participate.   Young Eagles is registered in more than 90 countries and continues to grow.
