Youth Programs

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.

EAA Chapter 729 is proud to own a Redbird TD flight simulator, a high-quality, FAA-certified training device perfect for pilots and aspiring aviators. The Redbird TD provides realistic flight experiences, allowing members to practice essential skills, brush up on procedures, and prepare for various flying conditions—all from the safety of the ground. By joining Chapter 729, you gain access to this incredible training tool, offering a cost-effective way to build flight hours and confidence. Whether you’re a seasoned pilot or just beginning your aviation journey, the Redbird TD opens up opportunities to enhance your skills and knowledge.
