**Due to circumstances resulting from COVID-19, the Young Eagles Program is canceled until further notice**
The Young Eagles program is held at the Airport and fly’s May through September on the second Saturday of each month from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. This is a wonderful experience for young flyers.
The Young Eagles program was started by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in an effort to stimulate interest in aviation for young people. Children between the ages of 8 and 17 are offered a free airplane ride around the Big Bear area by pilots from the Pilot’s Association. Pilots must be a member of the Pilot’s Association and the EAA in order to participate in this program. We have run this program for five years and have flown thousands of children.
Each child will be given a pre-flight review of the basics of flight and the main parts of an airplane prior to the flight. No appointments are necessary, but each child must be accompanied by a parent or adult who must sign a release of liability for the child and can then take pictures of the happy flyer after their flight.
During times of inclement weather in Big Bear, Young Eagles flights may be cancelled at short notice.
