Wannabee pilots between the ages of 8 and 17 can see their dream about becoming a real-life pilot take off this summer, thanks to a special Young Eagles Program at this year’s Paso Robles Airfest.
 
The free Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Young Eagles Program will help young aviators take flight in Paso Robles on August 26.
 
This is a great opportunity for wannabee pilots to learn what real pilots do both on the ground and in the air.
 
Since 1992, more than two million Young Eagles have enjoyed a flight from EAA’s network of volunteer pilots. For many, it was the start of their journey to becoming a pilot, aircraft mechanic or air traffic controller.
 
As part of Airfest, members of EAA Chapter 465 of Paso Robles will be providing free flights to introduce young people to aviation. A parent or legal guardian will be required to sign a permission form prior to the flight.
 
After the flight, the Young Eagle will receive: a signed personal logbook and free access to Sporty's Learn to Fly Course ($199 value), first flight lesson ($120 value), admission to more than 300 science and technology museums, Academy of Model Aeronautics Student Membership, an electronic copy of EAA Sport Aviation monthly magazine, access to valuable flight training awards, education scholarships and Air Academy camperships.
 
The popular program is part of Paso Robles Airfest, which takes place on Friday August 25 and Saturday August 26. There’ll be vintage and modern aircraft on display, marching bands, flying demos, live music, pilot meet-and-greets and a big launch party on the Friday evening.
 
The BEST WESTERN PLUS Black Oak Hotel is a perfect accommodation option if you’re planning to take a wannabee pilot to the Paso Robles Airfest. Family-owned and operated since 1961, this beautifully-landscaped property features a variety of well-appointed rooms and suites, along with an onsite restaurant, heated pool, sauna, hot tub and fitness center. The hotel has earned a stellar rating from Trip Advisor, so you can rest assured that your comfort is a priority.
