The Lake of the Ozarks Chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) will hold a Young Eagles Flight Rally on Saturday, August 11th, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Licensed local area pilots will provide a FREE INTRODUCTORY FLIGHT for kids ages 8 to 17.
Registration and flights will take place at the Osage Beach Grand Glaize Airport. There is a sign-up process and a parent or guardian must be present to sign a consent form. There will be an airplane in the registration area where pre-flight demonstrations will be given. After the pre-flight demonstration, the children will take a 15-20-minute plane ride with opportunities to ask the pilot questions before and after the flight
Each child will receive a YOUNG EAGLES CERTIFICATE signed by their pilot and Young Eagles will also receive a free logbook with their flight entered. The logbook also has instructions to access a free on-line private pilot ground school course. A free first actual flight lesson is available to those over age 13 upon completing Part 1 of the on-line ground school.
Over 2 million youngsters nationwide have experienced the thrill of flight through the EAA Young Eagles Program. Our local Chapter has flown over 2000 kids.
