The EAA’s Young Eagles Day was smooth sailing on
August 10. Volunteer pilots gave free flights to
63 local kids ages 8-17, giving them a new
perspective on their world and introducing them
to the trill of flight.
The six pilots donated their time and aircraft
for the day, while 17 other local aviation
enthusiasts helped with the logistics of
coordinating the event.
For the kids who didn’t quite make the age
limit, there were rides in Northern Air’s Full
Motion Flight Simulator to keep them from
feeling left out.
Overall it was a very successful day and fun was
had by all.
Thank you to all the volunteers and participants
for making it a great day, and thank you to Sue
Wilson for the wonderful pictures! |
