Description

The members of the Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 1310 will be providing complementary airplane flights for kids 8 to 17 years old as part of the world wide Young Eagles program. Flights will take place at Skylark Airport, 54 Wells Road, Broad Brook, CT on Saturday August 28th from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, weather permitting. Launched in 1992, the Young Eagles program has dedicated more than 25 years to giving youth their first free ride in an airplane. It’s the only program of its kind, with the sole mission to introduce and inspire kids in the world of aviation. Today, more than 2 million young people have enjoyed a free introductory flight through the Young Eagles program. These flights are made possible through the generosity of EAA member volunteers. On the Ground: Your pilot explains what will happen during the flight. You may talk about the airplane, review an aeronautical chart (or map), and complete a careful "walk-around" preflight inspection of the airplane. Just Before Takeoff: Your pilot explains the interior of the airplane, including the operation of the aircraft door, safety belts, and instrument panel. In the Air: The flight lasts between 15 and 20 minutes. And, if you want, your pilot may let you take the controls! Back on the Ground: There's more time for you to ask questions about the flight. Your pilot is happy to tell you more about flying and his or her particular airplane. So we are sure to have enough pilots available, please register at For further information about the program, visit For questions call , email through the Craigslist mail system visit our chapter's web site
