| First Flights consists of
Aviation based classes and projects which present youth with low cost, age
appropriate, ways to learn more about aviation and basic skills which can be
applied elsewhere. In these classes the students generally make their own
project (i.e. kite, hot air balloon, rocket, balsa gliders, rubber powered
airplane, wooden wing rib, etc.) and then fly them before taking them home. |
The Young Eagles program is
conducted world-wide by the EAA. Our Chapter in Columbus sponsors
four or more Young Eagles Flight Rallies per year. Youngsters from 8
thru 17 take a ride in a small airplane followed by
pictures with the airplane and pilot. Participants receive a
certificate for their flight and are registered in the Young Eagles
Logbook in Oshkosh, Wisconsin |
