We had a successful Young Eagles rally on May 10 at Warrenton Airport. We flew 40 kids with 6 aircraft.
The dates of upcoming rallies are as follows:
June 14 – 0900 AM at Manassas
July 12 – 0900 AM at Manassas
We have just received word from the Virginia Department of Aviation that all three “Top Eagles” awards for the pilots that flew the most Young Eagles in the last 12 months are from Chapter 186. Curtis Smith, Paul Schafer and Bob Prange have been invited to attend the annual Virginia Aviation Conference in August to receive their awards.
Ground and Pilot Volunteers: About two/three weeks prior to a Young Eagles Rally, we prompt the events.eaachapters.org system to send an email to everyone in our Young Eagles volunteer
database, inviting you to click on “confirm” or “will not attend.” This helps us determine the staffing level so we can set the number of kids that can register for a ride. Expect an automatic reminder email on Wednesday three days prior to the Young Eagles Rally asking you to confirm again that you are still planning to volunteer. This gives us updated staffing level info.
Young Eagles flights are available for kids between ages 8 and 17. We normally hold our rallies on the second Saturday each month. We use two time slots 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM in the warmer months. Parents can register at events.eaachapters.org beginning at 8:00 AM on
the 1st of each month.
