The EAA Young Eagles program welcomes young people into the exciting world of aviation. Young Eagles was launched in 1992 to give interest to young people ages 8 to 17, an opportunity to go flying in a general aviation aircraft. The flights are offered free of charge through the generosity of EAA member volunteers. More than 1.7 million Young Eagles have enjoyed a flight through this program.
Chapter 818 sustains the program locally through our Young Eagles Coordinator, Doug Seward, and he may be contacted at seward747@aol.com. For complete details and Registration go to youngeaglesday.org .
WHERE AND WHEN:
- Young Eagles UpdateMay Greetings from your friendly Young Eagle coordinator. With the covid situation improving and expected to continue on that trend, we’re going to take a shot at a Young Eagles event on June 26, 2021, the last Saturday of June.
Location will again be at Cascade Aviation, Skagit Regional Airport, 10 am to 1 pm. As with our previous YE fly days, a successful event will require the participation of volunteer pilots and ground personnel. More information on pilot requirements, and other items, can be found at eaa.org/young eagles.
The background check is not required for ground volunteers. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Hi Gents: earlier this evening I had the pleasure of presenting to Ken Davies and Cascade Aviation a Certificate of Appreciation for their support of our Young Eagles program at their Christmas party, held at Flyers restaurant at BVS. Great event and he assured us of their continued support in the future.
