What an incredible turnout for today's EAA Chapter 91 Flying Start event! ✈️

We had a full house for our Introduction to Flying presentations, with attendees ranging from curious future pilots taking their very first step into aviation, to experienced pilots who came out to share their passion and support the next generation.

The energy carried right out to the ramp, where discovery flights gave many participants their first hands-on experience in the air—an unforgettable moment and, for some, the beginning of a lifelong journey.

Events like this remind us how strong and welcoming the aviation community truly is. Whether you're dreaming about flying or already logging hours, there’s always a seat for you here.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, and made this event such a success. Blue skies and tailwinds—we can’t wait to do it again!

After a successful first Young Eagles event at LXT last weekend the EAA Chapter 91 team went to Columbia today to support their Young Eagles event at KCOU! It was a great day introducing young people to the joy of flight and inspiring the next generation of aviators. We never get tired of seeing those big grins at the end of the flights.
