EAA Chapter 62, Young Eagles Flights, San Jose, CA, May 14, 2022

The Young Eagles program is sponsored by the Experimental Aircraft Association. It is designed to expose young people, ages 8 to 17, to aviation by providing free rides in small aircraft flown by experienced EAA members. EAA62, based at Reid Hillview Airport in San Jose, held its first Young Eagles Rally during Reid-Hillview Airport Day in September of 1992. That day we flew 42 Young Eagles. Since then, EAA62 has given over 2,500 Young Eagles airplane rides. Young Eagle flights take place in a wide variety of aircraft. The itinerary of each flight vary depending upon the preferences of the pilot. Most flights are in an aircraft that carries from one to three passengers. The flights usually last from 20 to 45 minutes. Parents get to meet with their child's pilot before the flight and accompany their child while boarding the airplane. All Young Eagle rides are given by licensed private pilots, in aircraft inspected and certified by the FAA. In addition to the Young Eagle rides, EAA Chapter 62 offers one or two all-expense paid scholarships to attend the Air Academy in Oshkosh. If you are between 16 and 18 years old, interested in aviation, and would like to apply to the scholarship, go to the Air Academy page.
