Parents and guardians, introduce your kids to the thrill of aviation!

FREE AIRPLANE RIDES FOR KIDS!  You read that correctly, EAA Chapter 79 is pleased to introduce the miracle of flight to kids ages 8-17 through the Young Eagles program.

Give your kid a break from today's endless video games and TV shows and give them something tangible to remember.  Right here in the beautiful Inland Northwest, is a group of volunteer pilots that are eager to share the cockpit with kids.

Every kid flown will receive a special certificate which is signed by our chairmen, Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger and First Officer Jeffrey Skiles, known for their expert handling of their airliner’s emergency landing in the Hudson River in January 2009!
All kids are registered in the World's Largest Logbook!

Young Eagles is a nationwide program created by the Experimental Aviation Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to grass roots aviation.

Important!  In order to be scheduled for a Young Eagles flight experience, please go to our Sign-up page and submit your request.  You will be contacted by a local EAA volunteer to schedule your kid(s) for the next event.  This is much preferred to walk-ins on the day of the event. However we will accept walk-ins as long as they arrive early and we have enough seats.
