The EAA Young Eagles program was launched on July 30, 1992 to introduce young people, ages  8 - 17 yrs., into 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. 

EAA Chapter 92's Young Eagles Program provides something for everyone and is an interactive FUN-FILLED day.   The day begins when REGISTRATION opens at 9:00 AM [see the event list for times and locations].  All attenddees are Young Eagles (YE).  Each YE is given a Logbook, Rally card (tasks to be completed), name badge and a lunch ticket.   From Registration it is into the WELCOME and the guidlelines for the day.   Let your day begin - onto Ground School!!!   Ground School  includes:  Instrument Panel presentation,  FPG-9 glider build, Charts & Maps, museum tour,  Pre-flight  an aircraft and of course TAKE YOUR FLIGHT.  There is a Parent Q&A to provide fulther information about aviation and meet first hand with a licensed pilot.  Lunch is provided.  After completion of Ground School and the  FLIGHT taken, the day is almost over.  Each YE receives a pilot signed YE Certificate and "I Earned My Wings" bag that includes a "Lean to Fly" Gleim Book, the "secret" code, a balsa airplane kit and a patch.  There is a suggested donation of $20.00 to cover the cost of materials.  WOW - what a day

 "Sharing the Passion for Aviation with the Future"

What will the actual flight be like? The biggest question might be about the actual flight.  What should you expect?  First of all, the pilot will explain what will happen during the flight.  This might include talking about the airplane; reviewing an aeronautical chart (or map); identifying reference points during the flight; observing a preflight inspection of the airplane and identifying the parts that control the airplane.  Once you are ready to go flying, the pilot will help you buckle the 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 see the earth and sky in a new and exciting way.  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.  Back on the ground, you can ask the pilot questions about the flight.  Ask away! The pilot will be happy to tell you more about aviation and learning to fly.
