We Need Pilots & Ground Volunteers
If you've never volunteered at one of our Young Eagles Rally's you don't know what you're missing.  The smiles alone on these bright young individuals faces when they step out of the plan makes it all worth it. 

To volunteer as a pilot or on the ground, please contact our Young Eagles Coordinator, JoAnn McCorkle, at youngeagles@eaa34.org or give her a call at (682) 365-5937


Are Young Eagles Flights Safe?
Our Goal:  The goal of a Young Eagles flight is to give youth a safe and pleasant experience that will make them a fan of aviation and all the goodness it brings.  We'd love it even more if they elect to engage with the EAA and EAA 34 after their flight.  See our Chapter Events & Projects page for upcoming opportunities to further engage with our chapter.  You don't even have to be a member to attend.

Safety:  Safety is paramount when it comes to flying, especially when youth are involved.  Our chapter, EAA 34, has safely flown over 3,000 youth during our Young Eagles Rally's over the past 30 years.  We know what we're doing.  Below are some of the steps we take to make every Young Eagles flight as safe as possible.

As with all endeavors in life, there are inherent risks associated with flying in an airplane no matter how big or small.  We hope the information above helps you better understand how serious we take making each Young Eagles flight as safe as reasonably possible.
