4th OF JULY YOUNG EAGLES RESULTS

We had 11 planes from 3 EAA Chapters fly 41 flights and 79 Young Eagles.  Flights got started around noon. By 2:00 PM we had pretty stiff cross winds on the runway and some elected to discontinue for safety concerns. (always a good idea).  But by 3:30 or so we had very clean wind free air and the flights continued.  Here is the tally:   Chapter 31 (Creswell/Eugene) had 30 flights and 65 Young eagles.  Chapter 1525 (Albany) had 7 flights and 10 Young Eagles.  Chapter 1457 (Eugene) has 4 flights and 4 Young eagles.  Here are the individual stats:

Chapter 31; Randy Stout 10 flights for 10 Young Eagles. (If he had a 172 it would have been 30 kids!).  Ray Morse 7 flights for 18 Young eagles.  Bill Dewey 6 flights for 17 Young Eagles.  Jim Origliosso 5 flights for 15 young Eagles.  Gary Ludeke 2 flights for 2 Young Eagles.  David Cole 1 flight for 3 Young Eagles.

Chapter 1524:  Richard Key 5 flights for 5 Young Eagles.  Gary Burroughs 1 flight for 3 Young Eagles.  Greg Burrows 1 flight for 2 Young Eagles.

Chapter 1457: Alan Wieder 2 flights for 2 Young Eagles. Bruce Gustafson 2 flights for 2 Young Eagles.

Many thanks for all who flew and all the hard work on the ground.  There was a ton of prep and tear down both inside and out and everybody pitched in.  Many Many thanks to all.  We had a lot of smiles on a lot of kids, some of which are likely to become pilots.  A successful day.  Thanks again.

President John
