Over 1.7 million kids flown as of June 2011
The young eagles program has been developed by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to welcome young people into the exciting world of aviation. It is designed to expose young people, ages 8 through 17, to aviation by providing free rides in private aircraft flown by experienced EAA member pilots. Parents are given the chance to meet with their child�s pilot before the flight and to accompany their child onto the ramp while boarding the airplane. All Young Eagle rides are given by FAA licensed private or commercial pilots, in aircraft inspected and certified by the Federal Aviation Administration.
What is EAA and the EAA Aviation Foundation?
The EAA is an international aviation membership association founded in 1953. More than 170,000 people belong to the EAA, with Chapters in all 50 states and many countries. Members are aviation enthusiasts of every age group, including many airline and commercial pilots, engineers, business people, even astronauts. They enjoy all types of airplanes. The Young Eagles Program is sponsored by the EAA Aviation Foundation, a charitable non-profit organization dedicated to the discovery and fulfillment of individual potential through personal flight.
