Default Young Eagles + AvWeb

I fly 3 per flight

A. That sucks if you're the kid stuck in back.


It sucks a lot more if you're the kid on the ground who can't get a
flight. We routinely fly over 100 kids per YE day with 5 or 6 planes.
If we only take one per flight, a lot of those kids ain't flying.

YOUNG EAGLES FLIGHTS CONTINUE AFTER FATALITIES...

"With 500,000 flights and 1.2 million kids safely flown as Young Eagles, we
think our safety procedures are pretty sound,"


That's more than 2 kids per flight.
A. That sucks if you're the kid stuck in back.
B. That number doesn't seem right.

If 200,000 flights have one kid, that leaves 300,000 flights for the
remaining 1 million kids.

I've seen maybe 40 Young Eagles take to the air at ANE (Anoka County -
Blaine, MN). All planes went up with one pilot, one kid.
