Hourly flights will be flown at 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 and 11:00 am. Reservations will be taken until all available flights are filled, with some limited opportunity for stand-by flights. In the event of inclement weather, the Young Eagles Rally will be held the following Saturday, November 10. The rally is part of the EAA Young Eagles Program, created to interest young people in aviation. Since the program was launched in 1992, Volunteer EAA pilots have flown more than 2 million young people who reside in more than 90 countries. “Free airplane rides are just part of the Flight Rally,” said Tina Andres, coordinator for the event. “We hope to build relationships between pilots and young people, giving a new generation a chance to learn more about the possibilities that exist in the world of aviation.” Pilots at the event will also explain more about their airplanes allowing young people to discover how airplanes work and how pilots ensure that safety is the prime concern before every flight. Following the flight, each young person, will receive a certificate making them an official Young Eagle. Their name will then be entered into the “World’s Largest Logbook,” which is on permanent display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, WI. The Logbook is also accessible on the Internet at .
