EAA to debut Young Eagles for adults next year

By Janice Wood · August 31, 2011 ·

EAA is set to launch a Young Eagles program for adults next year.

According to EAA President/CEO Rod Hightower, Young Eagles for adults has been something that EAA members have been recommending for years. The program will focus on the “one-on-one” flight experience, will be driven by chapters, and will provide the same insurance protections as Young Eagles.

“We have the opportunity to engage, inspire, and motivate new aviators at a point in their lives when they have time, income, and other resources to participate fully in the aviation lifestyle,” Hightower said. “It’s part of EAA’s strategic plan to grow participation in aviation.”
