East Allen Times:
FORT WAYNE — Area young people ages 8-17 can take to the skies June 12 when the Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 2 hosts a Young Eagles Flight Rally at Smith Field Airport.
The rally is part of the EAA Young Eagles Program, created to interest young people in aviation. Registration is 10 a.m.-noon at the main hanger. Flights begin at 10 a.m., weather permitting.
Free airplane rides are just part of the Flight Rally. Pilots hope to build one-to-one relationships with the young people, giving a new generation a chance to learn more about the possibilities that exist in aviation. Pilots also will explain more about their airplanes allowing young people to discover how airplanes work and how pilots ensure safety is the prime concern before every flight.
