YOUNG EAGLES FLIGHT RALLY
July 18, 2009
 |
| A Stearman biplane with pilot and new Young Eagle. |
What a fun time it was for us to do this. We had the perfect volunteers to man the event. Kip had his computer there and printed the Y-E certificates right on the spot. Amy Bolton saw to it that all the paperwork was in order for the kids to participate. Loretta had cookies, coffee, and water there and Don Bolton brought a pile of fresh bagels for refreshments. Larry Bierman was there at the registration table to assist where needed too. Les Boatwright was in charge of handling the kids once they were registered and Ben Charvet had his Baby Ace on the line and taught the kids on how and airplane works. (ground school) Mark Oriza assisted Ben and Les with the ground operations. Loretta was taking pictures to document the goings on.
Seven planes and pilots gave first time airplane rides. Fred Burgess with C172, Steve Miller with C152, Alberto Silva with C172, Rod Gier w/ J3 Cub, Don Bolton and his Stearman, Don Garrison w/ Bonanza and me with Fancy, 7ECA Citabria. All of the kids wanted to fly with Don and the Stearman!
All I can say is we all had a good time and gave 27 Young Eagles their first plane ride. A great success.
The grounds of Dunn Airpark were neat and trim too.
Following the flight, each young person received a certificate making them an official Young Eagle. Their names will be entered into the "World's Largest Logbook," which is on permanent display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, WI. The Logbook is also accessible on the Internet at www.youngeagles.org.
