OCTOBER 3rd EAA YOUNG EAGLES EVENT AT KAFJ 10-4pm

The Washington Flyers Club and the EAA Chapter 842 (Fairmont WV) will be hosting a EAA Young Eagles Rally on Saturday October 4th from 10-4 weather permitting at the Washington County Airport.  For those of you unfamiliar with the program, the EAA Young Eagles offers free airplane rides for youngsters 8-17 years old free of charge.  Last year I gave 70 kids their first plane ride and it was a very rewarding experience.  We are looking for about 5 members who could be volunteer pilots, below are the requirements.

Also any members who would like to help out around the staging areas, please let us know.
