A few things you need to know.

1.  The flying is not a sponsored BSA activity.  It is being conducted by the EAA Young Eagles program.  EAA Young Eagles gives youth ages 8-17 an opportunity to go flying in a general aviation airplane.  The flights are free and are provided by EAA member volunteers.

2. the EAA has some required paperwork that must be signed by Parents before a youth can fly.  We'll have the forms at Monday night's meeting.  Please see Kris Cook on Monday night for your form.  No form, No flying, No exceptions.

3.  There may be more than one aircraft involved, depending on how many pilots are available.  Some of these aircraft might be designated by the FAA as "experimental".  Links to definitions are below.  Please read.
