I had the opportunity to fly down from Oshkosh to Racine Chapter 838 with Brian O'Lena (EAA Young Eagles Manager) this past Saturday. Nothing beats seeing a bunch of kids waiting for their flights with great expectation and many smiles afterwards! This is definitely addicting!

Rich Doering was there with his son and wife. It was his birthday and he has been considering taking flying lessons. Well, luckily I had the necessary Eagle Flights Forms on me and he was able to take an Eagle Flight. This was the first Eagle Flight that Chapter 838 had given by Chapter member Jim Hantschel (close to 500 YE rides given...congrats Jim!). I was glad to be able to be there!

We have had over 250 requests for Eagle Flight registration forms and literature! Each day we receive more requests. Thank you very much Chapters for your support of the Eagle Flights Program and growing the pilot population!!
