first time...

on the way to the airport to fly a group of young eagles for the first time at a fly-in at my local field.

i know, not the most exciting post, but I had a young eagles flight for my first flight in 1994 and here i am today so i guess it does make a positive impact on GA.

Good work, let us know how it goes! My chapter has a Young Egales fly-in every spring but I haven't yet been able to participate, I think it's a great program and I wish I had known about it when I was young!

Well it went well. I flew 9 kids total. It was the first time in a small airplane for every kid. Most of them it was their first time in an airplane period. Only one got a little sick, but once on the ground he said it was fun. They all thought the flight was awesome, and most were very appreciative.

If he sat in back, better check the pockets on the back of the front seats!!
