We flew 34 kids at the June 13 rally. Thank you to our pilots and ground volunteers. It was a pleasant day with the temp in the mid-80s and a breeze. Please note: Our July 11 rally is planned for Warrenton-Fauquier Airport at 0900. This is a change from earlier plans.
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.
