Free Flights
The American Eagle Foundation is well known for using some of the Eagles in its care to perform "free-flights during the Star Spangled Banner. The American Eagle Foundation found that people responded well to the sight of an Eagle flying from one trainer to another. Since 1991, AEF Eagles have performed over 8,000 free flights ranging from venues such as school gyms, all the way to Super Bowl and World Series games. Named in honor of the lost space shuttle crew, Challenger has performed free-flights at hundreds of events.

Famous quotes containing the words free and/or flights:
“I know you not, this room never,
the swollen dress I wear,
nor the anonymous spoons that free me,
nor this calendar nor the pulse we pare and cover.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Old man, it’s four flights up and for what?
Your room is hardly any bigger than your bed.
Puffing as you climb, you are a brown woodcut
stooped over the thin rail and the wornout tread.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
