There was great excitement, not only amongst the children, but also amongst our pilots, marshals, and admin crew as our first Young Eagles Day since the COVID pandemic approached.

John Barber, EAA 1240641, flew his first Young Eagle on January 29! John is the fifth Ray scholar in EAA Chapter 677 to reach this milestone.

An EAA chapter in Fort Wayne, Indiana, flew its 11,000th Young Eagle during a rally in August.

How one dedicated and focused young person went from Young Eagle to Young Eagles pilot.

Thanks to an anonymous and extremely generous donor, an EAA chapter in Florida was able to award three additional $10,000 scholarships in addition to this year’s Ray Scholarship.
