AvWeb October 20th
http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...ll.html#190814 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. Montblack |

Young Eagles by the busload. The kids love it. |

If it's a 4 place plane three kids pile in, if a 2 place 1 kid. |

George Patterson Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor. It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him. |

You haven't mentioned any reason to think the flights at ANE are representative of the YE flights nationwide. --Gary |

I would think it would suck too, but a lot of kids will only fly if their parents or school chums go along with them. I've flown flights of 3 kids in a C-172 and 1 kid in a Cub or my Aircoupe...I much prefer the single pax. I get the kids who are a little braver and a little more independent (sometimes a lot more) who don't have a need for the support of their peers or superiors. I like that. |
