The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Young Eagles program offers FREE flights to youth ages 8-17.
A typical event ...
Watch this short video to experience a typical Young Eagles event in Auburn. Our pilots enjoy these flights as much as the kids do.
Volunteer ground personnel are also a key ingredient to these events. Ground personnel handle registration, the flight simulator experience, class room training along with safety marshaling planes and people.
Event photos
We have been very fortunate to have the volunteer services of new, up-and-coming photographers Paxx Weidert and Dennis Chubatenko. Both have very bright futures ahead of them along with professional photographers Mark Coverdale, Mitch Faatz and Mark Bateson at most of our events.

What cancels an event
Safety is our number one priority. Events can be canceled because of bad weather, poor visibility, or not enough volunteers to safely hold the event.
- Bad weather typically involves predicted low clouds, strong winds, rain, or thunderstorms.
- Poor visibility is typically caused by bad weather or heavy smoke from forest fires.
