Japanese Young Eagles Program

Become more familiar with aviation, Less miss understanding

What is Young Eagles?
 The EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 to give interested young people,
ages 8 - 17, an opportunity to go flying in a general aviation airplane. These flights are
offered free of charge and are made possible through the generosity of EAA member
volunteers.

Since 1992, more than 1.6 million Young Eagles have enjoyed a flight through the
program. Young Eagles have been registered in more than 90 different countries and
have been flown by more than 42,000 volunteer pilots.
