Young Eagle Program
The Young Eagle Program is designed for children between the ages of eight and seventeen. There are currently over one million members. Young Eagles members receive a free plane ride and a certificate of membership for life. Members also receive newsletters, information on upcoming events, and have a chance to win scholarships. The museum currently has its own newsletter called the "Sport Aviation", which involves the news, upcoming events, award recognitions, and other features about the museum. At all of EAA's events, Young Eagles are invited to participate and are usually recognized. There are also Young Eagle education sessions available at these events. Being a part of this program allows kids to learn facts about aviation and provides them an opportunity to see what an aircraft aviator does.

Famous quotes containing the words young, eagle and/or program:
“There are two kinds of men, and only two, and that young man is one kind. He is high-minded, he is pure, he’s the kind of man that the world pretends to look up to, and in fact despises. He is
the kind of man who breeds unhappiness, particularly in women.”
—Robert Bolt (1924–1995)
“The Eagle has landed.”
—Neil Armstrong (b. 1930)
“Lead bullets flattened by human teeth have been found on the camp site. Soldiers who had been caught stealing food from nearby farms customarily chewed on a bullet as the lash was laid on their bare backs.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
