I assume a large majority of the members on VAF have flown young eagles. It must be a great feeling seeing the smile on a kid's face after his/her first airplane ride! My EAA chapter has a young eagles flying event this weekend, and I'm excited to be able to be one of the pilots! Its gonna be fun to fly young eagles when I'm still in the age range to GET a ride!

Brad that is just awesome! I've given many, many YE rides and was YE co-ordinator for our EAA chapter for several years. There is no better way, in my opinion to pay back being introduced to the wonderful world of aviation ouselves. Make every flight, a flight they'll enjoy and cherish!

Trouble is that the -3 only has a single seat---------going to have to use the spamobile.

Good luck to you, YE is a great program, as Joe, I am also a YE coordinator, and pilot.

You will be glad to have done this.
