New Horizons for a New Generation Young people hold the key to our future. To direct their energy, enthusiasm and potential into positive, fulfilling activities like aviation is to open doors to new and exciting horizons. It is our mission - and our responsibility - to do everything we can to help young people discover and reach their full potential. The Young Eagles program has been developed by the EAA Aviation Foundation to welcome young people into the world of aviation. Aviation is exciting and vital to our nation's future. Participation in the Young Eagles Program will help them understand that an individual's potential is unlimited. |

Hon. Chairman of the Young Eagles Program Retired General Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager was the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound. A World War II "ace" with more than 14,000 hours of flight experience, General Yeager attributes personal achievement to having high goals as a young person: "My beginnings back in West Virginia tell who I am to this day. Mom and Dad taught by example. Whatever I did, I determined to do the best I could do at it. Through the Young Eagles Program, kids can learn to set high goals in all walks of life." |
