YOUNG EAGLES FLIGHT RALLY
July 18, 2009 — 8:00am on
Date changed from July 11 due to Shuttle launch
 |
| A Stearman biplane with pilot and new Young Eagle. |
Area young people ages 8-17 will have a chance to take to the skies as Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 866 hosts a Young Eagles Flight Rally at Dunn Airpark, Titusville, FL.
The rally is part of the EAA Young Eagles Program, created to interest young people in aviation. Since the program was launched in 1992, Volunteer EAA pilots have flown more than 1.3 million young people who reside in more than 90 countries.
Free airplane rides are just part of the Flight Rally. We hope to build one-to-one relationships between pilots and young people, giving a new generation a chance to learn more about the possibilities that exist in the world of aviation.
Pilots at the event will also explain more about their airplanes allowing young people to discover how airplanes work and how pilots ensure safety is the prime concern before every flight.
Following the flight, each young person will receive a certificate making them an official Young Eagle. Their name will then 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.
