The Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 by EAA
the Experimental Aircraft Association, based in Oshkosh
Wisconsin. Our mission is to provide a meaningful flight
experience – free of charge – in a general aviation aircraft for
young people (primarily between the ages of 8 and 17. Since the
program began, more than 1.3 million Young Eagles have flown under
the auspices of the program. These flights have been
provided through the generosity of more than 40,000 EAA
member volunteer pilots and countless other volunteers .
Young Eagle flights have been conducted in every state in America; each
province in Canada; and in more than 90 other countries. The
flights have been safely conducted in nearly every type of general
aviation aircraft, from light planes to business jets, and everything
in between. Your child can join the ranks of Young Eagles and
see their world from a whole new perspective. For more
