YOUNG EAGLES The EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 to give interested young people, ages 8 - 17, an opportunity to go flying in a general aviation airplane. These flights are offered free of charge and are made possible through the generosity of EAA member volunteers. For more information about the program as a whole, please visit the Official Website If you have an interested in aviation and have never flown in a general aviation airplane, EAA 66 welcomes the opportunity to introduce you to the wonderful world of aviation. We typically fly a dozen Young Eagle day the first Sunday of the month at our clubhouse where we also host a fly-in/pancake breakfast. Registration forms, alongside with instructions, are located on the desk by the bathrooms. The instruction sheet also contains information about the Young Eagle Experience. Complete the form and return it to the Young Eagle coordinator. Flights are limited to introductory ride for children 8-17, but other parts of the programs can be enjoyed by all.

Weather, as well as the number of airplane/pilot available, dictates whether Young Eagles will be able to fly. Safety:
Once you are through the gate, drive directly to the clubhouse;
airplanes have priority over cars, only drive through the stop sign if
the area is clear. Parents must supervise and are responsible for their
children at all times. You are requested to remain at or around the
clubhouse at all times. A volunteer must accompany you if you want to
look at airplanes across the road from the clubhouse. For insurance
purposes, a coordinator must dispatch all flights.
