Young Eagles will soar Sept. 19 at Dallas Executive Airport

Ever wondered what your neighborhood looks like from the sky? Or maybe you’re curious about how airplanes fly. You might even dream about being a pilot. If you’re nodding your head “Yes” and are between the ages of 8 and 17, you’re ready to take a free Young Eagles flight and see what real pilots do on the ground and in the air.

Area students from 8 to 17 years old will participate in the Young Eagles Rally from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19 at Dallas Executive Airport, 5303 Challenger Drive. Since 1992, more than 1.9 million Young Eagles have enjoyed a flight from the Experimental Aircraft Association’s network of volunteer pilots. For many, it was the start of their journey to becoming a pilot, aircraft mechanic, air traffic controller or other career possibilities.
