We had a fantastic turnout for our Spring 2026 Young Eagles Flights this past Saturday!

A huge thank you to our volunteer pilots, ground crew, chapter members, and families who helped make the day a success. Watching young people experience the excitement of aviation and take to the skies for the first time is what the Young Eagles program is all about.

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the event. We look forward to inspiring the next generation of aviators for years to come! ✈️

Feel free to share your photos from the event in the comments!
