  • The Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 461 is again participating in the EAA's Young Eagles program.  This program introduces young people, ages  8 thru 17, to general aviation by providing free airplane rides. Last year Chapter 461 flew over 265 Young Eagles. The EAA program has flown over 1.6 million young people world wide since the inception of the program in 1992.  Rides are given the second Saturday of every month, April thru October, 9 AM - Noon, weather permitting, at Bolingbrook's Clow International Airport.  It's more than just a ride – check us out at EAAChapter461.org

92 Young Eagles flown so far this season

Please note that the attached pictures are of a few of the airplanes that may or may not be available for the plane ride.  Pilots from our chapter donated their time and planes for the rides and some of them may not be always available.
