Since 1992, more than 1.9 million Young Eagles have enjoyed a flight from EAA’s network of volunteer pilots. For many, it was the start of their journey to becoming a pilot, aircraft mechanic, air traffic controller, or many other career possibilities."
In other words, we pilots give kids rides for free because of our love of aviation. Please visit the YE site for more information -> EAA Young Eagles Program | EAA |
Thank you very much for the answers.
