We flew 38 kids in November and 35 in December at Manassas. Our 2023 Ray Scholar Grant Peterson paid it back and flew his first Young Eagle in his own CH2000! Pilots: In an effort to push the total of Young Eagles flown to 2.5 million kids, EAA has
announced Mission 2.5 where Young Eagle Pilots have an incentive to fly 25 kids between 10/1/2025 to 7/31/2026. Any volunteer pilot that rises to the challenge and flies 25 Young Eagles or more from October 1, 2025, through July 31, 2026, will be issued a limited-edition commemorative hat courtesy of Sporty’s. Below are our current totals through 12-13-2025 for each Young Eagles pilot:
Chris Berg 9
Dan Botzer 26
Matthew Friedman 4
Joseph Fry 3
Michael Iachini 8
Allan Osborn 12
