Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport hosts the 2019 EAA Young Eagles Day, offering free flights for youth between the ages of 8 and 17 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16, 2019 at Signature Flight Support, 2550 Laughlin View Dr. (See attached flyer with map).

“A free ride can be the first step to inspire a career in aviation, which is the mission of the Young Eagle program,” said Jeremy Keating, LBIA airport director. “Our goal this year is to take at least 100 youngsters on a flight.”

The free flights are made possible through the generosity of EAA member volunteers.

The Airport is currently looking for local businesses and organizations to sponsor a “Young Eagle”. To sponsor a Young Eagle, contact Shaun Kelly at (928) 754-2134 or Skelly@FlyIFP.com.

Since 1992, more than 2 million Young Eagles have enjoyed a flight through the program. Young Eagles have been registered in more than 90 different countries and have been flown by more than 43,000 volunteer pilots in the past 25 years.
