EAA Chapter 478 is hosting a Young Eagles Rally at St. Mary's airport from 0800 until Noon tomorrow, June 14th. Kids ages 7 to 17 are offered the opportunity to go flying with volunteer pilots in their private airplanes for a short introductory and educational flight. We'll also have hot dogs and sodas.
Parents will need to accompany their kids to fill out and sign the "permission slip" paperwork in the St. Mary's Airport terminal building.
If there is a huge turnout and a kid can't get a flight Saturday (or if the weather prevents flying) a signup / contact list sheet will be available and we'll arrange a flight on a different day -- hopefully this won't be needed.
Cost? It's FREE! The EAA Chapter 478 pilots donate their time, aircraft, and fuel for this national program (thanks guys!).
