Our Program
The National EAA Young Eagles program has flown more than 2.3 million boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 17.
Chapter 301 has flown more than 10,000 Young Eagle flights in the Denver area. Flights are completely free, and we strive for one child per plane to give everyone an opportunity for “stick time.”

2026 Schedule
NEW. Our Young Eagles events are no longer held on a fixed monthly schedule. Instead, rallies will be scheduled periodically throughout the year as opportunities allow.
To ensure a fair and organized process, we do not maintain a waiting list or accept advance reservations. Registration will open when each event is announced, and spaces will be filled on a first come, first served basis. We will also prioritize first-time participants.
Missed out this time? Don't worry... We are already preparing for our next event. All event dates and registration details will be posted here on this page. We do not send notification emails, so we encourage you to check back regularly for updates.
We can’t wait to see more young aviators in the sky soon!
All 2026 events will be held at Centennial Airport (KAPA) location, more dates coming soon.
