Young Eagles Have you ever wondered what it's like to fly?
The Young Eagles Program has been developed by the EAA Aviation Foundation to welcome young people into the world of aviation. Aviation is exciting and vital to our nation's future. Your child will experience a safe and enjoyable flight that will give new perspectives on the world and life in general. Participation in the Young Eagles Program will help him or her understand that an individual's potential is unlimited. What do I have to do to become a member of Eagle Flight? If you are between the ages of 8 and 17, read this web page and print a copy of the Young Eagles Registration Form. Fill out the top half of the form and be sure to have your parent or guardian sign the permission slip. Take this permission slip to an EAA member and he or she will help you prepare for a demonstration flight in an airplane. If live near Lebanon, Tennessee you can check our Chapter Calendar to find out when the next Young Eagle Flight is scheduled. Contact our Chapter Young Eagles Coordinator indicating your interest in participating in the Young Eagles Program.
