The EAA's Young Eagles program is in full swing at Centennial Airport June 4-8, 2008 as they give FREE first rides to kids of all ages. My daughter was able to participate yesterday, and she had a blast as we lifted off and headed east for a 20 minute tour of the countryside in a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. The flights are being sponsored by the Jeppesen Flying Club, and kids get a certificate, full-size wall poster and a magazine after their flight. Chris Jones did a fine job of piloting our plane, and I have enormous praise and thanks to all the wonderful people dedicated to making the Young Eagles program a success.
