Free Young Eagles Flights

If you are between the ages of 8 and 17 come and experience the thrill of flight and learn about the world of aviation during the “Discover Sawyer” airport open house. We will be giving free flights during the event to eligible kids. Parent or legal guardian should print out and sign the parental permission slip at the end of this registration and bring it with you the day of the flight. (Note: Grandparents generally are not considered legal guardians unless they have been designated such)

Meet your Pilot

The pilots who participate in the Young Eagles program are local members of EAA who are volunteering their time and aircraft to make your flight possible.  Each Young Eagles pilot is certificated with the Federal Aviation Administration or Transport Canada.  Flights are conducted according to federal regulations and no aerobatic maneuvers will be performed.

What will my pre-flight be like?

First of all, your pilot will explain what you will see and do.  This may include explaining how airplanes work, looking at an aeronautical chart (or map), and describing the interior of the airplane, including the instrument panel.  Then comes the fun part: you get to go flying!

Safety Reminders

Safety is always top priority when it comes to aviation.  Listen and follow instructions given by your pilot, stay away from the propellers, and stay with your pilot or ground crew at all times.

What will my flight be like?

You will spend about 15 to 20 minutes in the air and follow the basic steps in the flight pattern.  You will experience the awesome feeling of flight that many people only dream about.  Many people remember this experience for the rest of their lives.  You will, too!
