DEVELOPING INTEREST IN AVIATION

WELCOME TO EAA 43'S YOUNG AVIATORS!

We are a special group formed by the EAA Chapter 43 for young folks whose interest and passion for aviation goes beyond that of their Young Eagles Flight. Our group gives kids from 12-18 the opportunity to be a part of the aviation community on a regular basis and learn more about aircraft and flying. We are ALWAYs working on an aviation-related project and regularly volunteer in the community at aviation-related events. 

Our goal is to expose them to as many aviation related avenues as possible (piloting, mechanics, technical skills, career paths, scholarship opportunities, etc.).  Over the years, we have assisted 20+ kids attain aviation related scholarships that ultimately resulted in their attainment of their PPL’s.

DEVELOPING INTEREST IN AVIATION

WELCOME TO EAA 43'S YOUNG AVIATORS!

We are a special group formed by the EAA Chapter 43 for young folks whose interest and passion for aviation goes beyond that of their Young Eagles Flight. Our group gives kids from 8-18 the opportunity to be a part of the aviation community on a regular basis and learn more about aircraft and flying. We are ALWAYs working on an aviation-related project and regularly volunteer in the community at aviation-related events.

We meet twice monthly (the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month). On the 2nd Saturday, we meet at Mount Evans room in the main terminal at Rocky Mountain Metro airport from 1-4 pm (speakers, hanger visits, aviation topics, online study programs, career development, onfield BJC tours). On the 4th Saturday, we will do field trips; reference the events page for details.
