Line Up and Wait
I have a very strong interest in aviation for a long time ever since I was a teen. I want to share this interest with younger kids so they could experience the joys I had when I got started in aviation for the first time and hopefully become a pilot or consider a career in aviation.
I already know about the Young Eagles that EAA host. What is it like when you take Young Eagles up for a plane ride? Do they make a big grin the entire time they are up there (I almost can't stop smiling the entire time when I flew the Sportstar MAX with my current CFI for the first time recently)? Do most of the Young Eagles you took up for a plane ride continue on to learn to fly and be a pilot? How effective is the Young Eagles program at turning them into pilots?
I would like to participate in the Young Eagles program maybe someday if I had the time and if I had a pilots license (Sport Pilot is the minimum license needed to be a Young Eagles pilot).
