Young Eagles Program

The Young Eagles Program was established in 1992 and has to date flown over 1.3Million young people ages 8-17 in over 9 countries with an objective to create an interest in aviation. Jim Ratte runs the YE program for Eastern NE and Western IA through the Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 80. He runs both individual and group flights. Below is this years schedule, but can flex to meet needs or those of a school or youth group or organization.

They hope to build one-to-one relationships between pilots and young people, giving a new generation a chance to learn more about the possibilities that exist in the world of aviation. Pilots at the event will also explain more about their airplanes allowing young people to discover how airplanes work and how pilots ensure safety is the prime concern before every flight. Following the flight, each young person, will receive a certificate making them an official Young Eagle. Their name will then be entered into the “World’s Largest Logbook,” which is on permanent display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, WI. The Logbook is also accessible on the Internet at www.youngeagles.org. Additional information about Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA)and the EAA Young Eagles program is also available on their website. Access to EAA’s Home Page is available at www.eaa.org.
