Midwest Aviation Groups Team Up to Provide Young Eagles Flights

By Carmelo Turdo

Over thirty Homeschool students received Young Eagle flights Monday morning at St. Louis Downtown Airport. The flights were provided by EAA Chapter 64, in cooperation with the Greater St. Louis Air & Space Museum located on the west apron of the airport. Five aircraft were provided by their pilots/owners along with a Cessna 172 from Aero Careers and one from Wings of Hope. This Young Eagle flight event was one of many provided this year through the selfless efforts of these Midwest Aviation organizations.
