Young Eagles Program
The Young Eagles Program's objective is to introduce young people to the world of sport aviation. To this end volunteer pilots provide free airplane rides along with an introduction to the parts of an aircraft, basic flight dynamics, and how an aircraft is controlled in flight.

EAA Chapter 130 has an active Young Eagles Program. Our primary pilots so far have been our President, Scott Jordan, and our Technical Counselor, Tony Castellano. Scott is currently a professional pilot for a major company and is a former USAF pilot with experience in many types of aircraft including the B1 Bomber. Tony has been flying for many years and takes great delight in introducing many young people to the world of sport aviation.
