History of Young Eagles
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's inception, more than 1.1 million Young Eagles have flown under the auspices of the program. These flights have been provided through the generosity of nearly 40,000 EAA member volunteer pilots.
Countless other volunteers support the flights. 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, an everything in between!
Your child can join the ranks of Young Eagles and see their world from a whole new perspective.
