Since 1982, Young Eagles has promoted introductory airplane flights for youth between 8 and 17 years old. In Columbus, the flights are provided by members of the EAA 677. Over 1,700,000 kids have flown nationally, including 2,000+ in Columbus, as a result of Young Eagles.
Upon completion of a Young Eagles flight, participants receive a Young Eagles Flight Certificate, Log Book, and authentication code for an internet based Private Pilot ground school, sponsored by Sportys, a $250 value. Young Eagles can be the first step in the pursuit of aviation as a passion and career.
