Have you ever considered becoming a pilot or seeing what it’s like to become one? The class will include guest speakers, aviation history, field trips, and a chance to fly a real airplane.

• Learn about the basics of aviation and prepare for your first flight!
• During the term, get an official Young Eagle’s demonstration flight in Scobie’s own back country airplane, or with master pilot Bob Stoney in his restored Cessna Bird Dog.  You’ll get to try out the controls and help with radio work, etc.
• As an added bonus, once you complete it, the official Young Eagles flight unleashes a whole host of fun and valuable benefits through the EAA, including access to free video ground school for your own pilot’s license.

Important Notes:
If you’re not in high school yet but really want this opportunity, talk to your advisor about how you’ll take a mature approach, and if you can get them to send me a brief recommendation for your participation, that will probably do the trick.

This class requires parent permission and if you want the Young Eagles flight, will require parents to sign a Young Eagles waiver. Scheduling the flight will be weather dependent and you and your family may need to prioritize weekend time, be willing to re-schedule, and participate in transportation efforts to get your Young Eagles flight completed at Paine Field in Everett.
