Young Eagles at Pine Mountain Lake

The Pine Mountain Lake Airport will host a Young Eagle Rally on September 24th. Pilots’ and volunteers meets at 8:00 AM at the new hangars and flights start at 9 AM.

The Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 by EAA, the Experimental Aircraft Association, based in Oshkosh Wisconsin. Our mission is to provide a meaningful flight experience – free of charge – in a general aviation aircraft for young people (primarily between the ages of 8 and 17.)

We expect 40-45 kids, we will need ground volunteers and pilots. Pilot briefing begins at 8:00am at the new hangars. You can also help organize the kids and sign them in.
