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.
