Spring Young Eagle Update!

We are all wrapped up for our Spring 2026 Young Eagle events. We flew a total of 305 Young Eagles so far this year. We flew students from Pelican Rapids, Fergus Falls, Hillcrest Lutheran, Rothsay, and Battle Lake. We also flew Young Eagles at the Wheels, Tracks, and Wings event at the Elbow Lake Airport.

I want to thank all of the great volunteer pilots and ground crew that all work so hard to make these events successful. We can't do these events without you. Also big thanks to Prairie Air Inc and Sky Crew Services for all the help at the airports.
