The Experimental Aircraft Association is offering FREE first flights for young people ages 8-17 at the Arkansas Air Museum at Drake Field in Fayetteville on Saturday, July 18, 2009. Last year they flew over 130 kids!
Each child must be accompanied by a parent. The children will fly with pilots that are certificated through the Federal Aviation Agency in the pilot’s own plane. Children will usually be able to handle the flight controls and actually fly the airplane. It is a fairly short flight of about 20 minutes over Fayetteville.
Registration starts at 8:00am. The children will participate in a short class of about 30 minutes to explain what is going to happen, then the flights will begin. The children will receive a certificate after the flight.
For more information call: Warren Jones 841-3791 or email warren.jones1@cox.net.
These flights are part of the Association’s Young Eagles Flight Orientation Program.
