NOTE: Very important, scroll down to Young Eagles section on this page for pre-registration and eligibility information.
General Information: This year we will be hosting a somewhat less robust Aviation day. If the weather and other anomalies favor us this year, the charitable airplane rides, given by volunteer pilots (who also force their aircraft to volunteer) will be giving rides for a nominal fee to help cover the cost of the event and other expenses. The Charitable rides are open to everyone young and old. Likewise, volunteer pilots and their aircraft will be offering the free Young Eagle rides for eligible kids. There should be a food truck or two around as well and the new airport restaurant is open for indoor dining.
Young Eagles Rides Free airplane rides for eligible kids If you want to improve your chances of a free ride, we would strongly encourage online pre-registration. This program is offered through a partnership with the Experimental Aircraft Association and the local EAA Chapter 842. Both the aircraft, and the pilots who fly them, receive no compensation. Their only payment is the smiling faces of the kids as they view the world below. A reminder, this program is only for youths. Parents or legal guardians may NOT accompany them during the ride, but MUST be with them at the airport to sign the final registration form, even if pre-registered online. Those are the nationwide rules set forth by the Experimental Aircraft Association and we cannot make any exceptions. Please click on the Young Eagles registration link directly below to pre-register and to view more information. Young Eagles Registration READ ME: Please use only the link above for Young Eagles registration. If you go to the general Experimental Aviation web site and scroll through the various EAA events listed there, and find ours, the registration form may not work as there are numerous EAA sponsored events through out the summer and it’s easy to get lost or sign up for “all events” or others which could void the pre-registration.
