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.
Since 1992, more than 1.1 million Young Eagles have enjoyed a flight through the program. Young Eagles have been registered in more than 90 different countries and have been flown by nearly 40,000 volunteer pilots.
Chapter 80 actively participates in this exciting program. We take pride in sharing our passion for flight with the future generation of aviators.
Contact our Young Eagles co-ordinator Jim Ratte at (402) 964 2645 or jrnuke@cox.net if you wish to participate in this program. Jim co-ordinates both, pilots wanting to inspire today's youth and kids wanting to discover the pleasure of flight.
