Young Eagles

Helping introduce young people to aviation through encouragement, community, and chapter support.

Youth aviation matters here

EAA Chapter 1298 wants younger future aviators to feel welcome. Young Eagles and youth-focused outreach help introduce aviation in a way that feels real, local, and inspiring.

The chapter’s broader mission includes helping young people discover aircraft, airports, building culture, aviation careers, and the community side of flying.

This page can grow later with event-specific details, registration instructions, volunteer notes, and chapter photos from youth activities.

What this page should communicate

The goal is not just to promote a program name, but to show that aviation can feel reachable. A young visitor or parent should come away thinking this chapter is welcoming, active, and worth connecting with.

For now, this page acts as a clean starter page until final photos and any chapter-specific Young Eagles details are added.
