Next Young Eagle Rally: April 12th
@ Terre Haute Regional Airport
Registration opens March 12th
The EAA launched the Young Eagles program in 1992. The organization has dedicated 30+ years to introducing youth to aviation by providing free flights to those aged 8-17.
2.5 MILLION youth have enjoyed free introductory flights thanks to the generosity of EAA chapter members such as ours.
Young Eagles are eligible to the following benefits:
-
Official logbook endorsed by a certified pilot
-
Coupon code for a free ground school course
-
Free EAA student membership
-
Access to Aeroeducate
-
and so much more!
EAA and Chapter 83 believe safety is important. Volunteer pilots are required to be current and proficient in their training. They are also required to complete background checks. Ramp safety volunteers ensure everyone's safety while out on the ramp, and ground volunteers assist with running smooth events.
