Young Eagles Program

     Most kids at one time or another wonder what it would be like to fly.  The Young Eagles Program takes the mystery out of flying and makes is a reality for thousands of young people to enjoy the thrill of flight for the very first time.

     The Young Eagle Program teaches participants how an airplane flies, gives them the knowledge it takes to be a pilot, and raises their awareness of aviation careers.  The goal is clearly to encourage young people to fly.
