Eagle Flights

EAA’s Eagle Flights^® are a free introductory flight experience and informal mentoring program designed to welcome and encourage adults (aged 18 or older) who want to discover flying, but don’t know how or where to take that first step. It begins with a hands-on introduction, where you’ll fly with one of our EAA-member pilots. They will let you follow along at the controls of the airplane to get a feel for what being a pilot is all about.

After the flight, he or she can help you learn more about how to get involved in your local aviation community, including the next steps you can take on the path to becoming a pilot – if you are interested.

The best part? The whole experience is free. No sales. No pressure. Just a whole lot of fun and education with a big take-home point: Your dream of flying is a lot closer than you think. 

Interested? Contact the EAA Chapter 166 Eagle Flight Coordinator Rick Montero. You can reach him at 860-680-8017 or at his email.
