I got to meet these guys and can say they are infected with flying. It's really neat to see this program working like this.

It's all about getting young people involved in our passion and it's working.

Congratulations to all involved.

All of you can do like Jerry and meet these guys (and more like them) at our Family Reunion at Oshkosh. We plan on having our usual spot in Woods 101 for most of the week. Austin will be flying EN-1 in, and we will have three other Eagle's Nest RV-12s there, in front of the Homebuilt Hangar. Stop by and say "Hi!" You are welcome to join the family.

Bob

P.S. Very proud of what these kids have accomplished, not only in aviation, but in life. Challenge kids to excel, and they will.
