Experimental Aircraft Association returns to Beckwourth Nervino Airport on September 10

7/27/2017

0 Comments

 
​The July 8, 2017 Truckee Tahoe Air Show and Family Festival has come and gone, and what a great success it was!  During Air Show day the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Truckee Chapter 1073 registered over 100 youths ages 8 through 17 for a free airplane ride the next day.  91 came to the airport the next morning and enjoyed their flights around the Truckee area.
 
There were eight pilots who volunteered their time and airplanes to take the new and returning Young Eagles aloft.  An event like this requires a lot of help to make things run smoothly, and over thirty ground volunteers assisted in various tasks
 
When youths become Young Eagles they receive a certificate and a logbook with that day’s flight logged in it.  Once they register their logbook at youngeagles.org they receive a free student membership in EAA, free online access to Sporty’s Pilot Shop’s “Learn To Fly” program, and other opportunities.  Their flights get recorded in the World’s Largest Logbook at EAA Headquarters in Oshkosh, WI, and are available to be seen online.
 
Truckee’s EAA Chapter thanks all who participated in making this Young Eagles event a wonderful experience for all of the kids who flew with us.  We also thank the Truckee Tahoe Airport District and Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co. for their support.
 
The chapter returns to Beckwourth Nervino Airport on September 10, which is also the date of the Portola Rotary Annual Fly-In Pancake Breakfast.  We’ll start registering and flying at 8 a.m.  Come fly with us!
