The Young Eagles program, part of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), introduces young people ages 8-17 to the world of aviation by offering free introductory flights. Launched in 1992, the program is run by volunteer pilots who are passionate about sharing the joy of flight with the next generation. Each Young Eagles flight is more than just a ride; it’s a hands-on experience where kids can learn about airplanes, the basics of flight, and safety. Since its inception, the program has provided over two million young people with their first aviation experience, inspiring future pilots and aviation enthusiasts across the globe.

You will have seen Ben Tepool around the Youth Aviation Center on a Mon or Weds working on the engine rebuild, the Zenith 650 build, or helping this past Saturday with the hangar spring workday. Today Ben achieved a milestone, his first flight in a GA airplane and having his hand at the controls. Bakalar Flying Club and EAA Chapter 729 member Jason Tepool gave the introduction flight. Not sure how to break it to Ben, but you don’t always get ice cream after a flight. Way to go Ben, and proud dad Jason. Here’s to a bright future in See More
