EAA chapter offering free youth flights

| September 5, 2024 1:00 AM

Do you want to soar with the eagles?

Boundary County youth will get that chance on Saturday as the local Experimental Aircraft Association, Chapter 757, is inviting youth from 8 to 17 years old to experience the gift of flight — for free.

Starting at 8 a.m. Saturday, youth in the community will be taken on a 15-minute flight around the county, EAA chapter members said.

Youth must sign up ahead of time by contacting the Boundary County Airport, 64602 U.S. Highway 2, Bonners Ferry, at 208-267-4359.

Youth and a parent or guardian will need to arrive at the airport early to complete the necessary paperwork prior to their flights.

The all-volunteer effort is sponsored by EAA Chapter 757.
