On July 9, 2024, I got to add another memorable flying moment. But this time, I was planted firmly on the ground.
A Flying Start
For EAA Chapter 534 at Leesburg International Airport (KLEE) in Florida, the 2024 Flying Start program brought some familiar faces to the airport — all 10 adults who participated in this year’s program were parents or relatives of recent Young Eagles.
EAA aims to inspire future pilots with Learn to Fly Week
Learn to Fly Week returns May 13-18, 2024, with 15 free webinars. New topics for 2024 include getting started with helicopters, aircraft options for flight training, and training with FAA-approved flight simulators. All webinars are free to attend, but online pre-registration is required, according to EAA officials.
More pilots in 2023
13,000+ more student pilot certificates were issued in 2023 compared to 2022. That’s a 24% increase.
