Young Eagles flights are run by EAA chapters across the country. EAA gives two ways to find one: register for a flight through its online tool, or pick your state and contact the nearest local Young Eagles coordinator. EAA says to contact the closest one even if there is no coordinator in your town, because they know the other participating pilots in the area.
More Massachusetts locations: Young Eagles flights also take place at other Massachusetts airports, including Fitchburg, Hyannis and North Andover, and more. Dates differ by chapter and are not listed here, so use the buttons below to find the next flight at each.
