Experimental Aircraft
Association Chapter 266
Montreal, Canada

The Young Eagles progam was launched by the EAA, with the objective of providing introductory flights to youths aged 8 to 17. A few years ago a target was set at 1 million flights before December 17, 2003, the centennial of powered flight. This worldwide initiative has been carried by more than 40,000 volunteers.

Chapter 266 continues to participate in this effort to spark curiosity in aviation. Every year, chapter members provide flights to young people, who would otherwise have little opportunity to experience the joy of flight.

Our Young Eagles co-ordinator is a different volunteer each year from the memebership of our EAA Chapter. For more information on the program is available from EAA main office and the Young Eagles website.

This year's event takes place on May 19, 2007 at Lchute Airport in conjuction with COPA Flight 118.

Again we are looking for help from pilots willing to fly Young Eagles and also ground crew to help with logistics. Please call or email one of our Chapter Directors to discuss your participation.
