The May 9 Young Eagles rally at Warrenton Airport was canceled. We had 30 kids plus 15 on the waitlist but the pilot/aircraft list shrank in the days leading up to the event to the point that we could not have held a successful rally.
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 May 2026 for
each Young Eagles pilot:
Chris Berg 12
Dan Botzer 26
Matthew Friedman 8
Joseph Fry 3
Dave Huss 3
Michael Iachini 8
Allan Osborn 20
Michael Osmers 6
Grant Peterson 2
Bob Prange 32
Brian Roy 17
Paul Schafer 13
Curtis Smith 11
Jeff Swedo 9
David Taylor 4
Our next Young Eagles Rallies are:
June 13 – Manassas at 0900
July 11 – Manassas at 0900
August 22 – Manassas at 0900
Young Eagles flights are available for kids between ages 8 and 17. We normally hold our rallies on the second Saturday each month. Parents can register at eaachapters.org beginning at 8:00 AM on the 1st of each month.
