EAA Young Eagles Program

Get A Free Flight!

The EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 to give interested young people, ages 8 - 17, an opportunity to go flying in a general aviation airplane. These flights are offered free of charge and are made possible through the generosity of EAA member volunteers.  Through the flight experience, participants will receive a new perspective on their world and can begin to explore the opportunities available though a career or interest in aviation.

Since 1992, more than 1.5 million Young Eagles have enjoyed a flight through the program. Young Eagles have been registered in more than 90 different countries and have been flown by more than 43,000 volunteer pilots.

Participation is easy.
If you are between 8 and 17 years old, the EAA Young Eagles programs wants to offer you the chance of a lifetime. Turn your dreams into reality on a free Young Eagles flight and become one of over 1 Million Young Eagles! Find out how. Once you become a Young Eagle, you will have more opportunities to participate, either through an online ground school, the EAA Air Academy or EAA’s many scholarships..  It’s up to you!
