(KNSI) – A St. Cloud area airplane club will give kids a complimentary birdseye view of the community next month.
The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 551 is hosting a Young Eagles Flight Rally at the St. Cloud Regional Airport on Saturday, May 15.
Kids age 8 to 17 will have a chance to get taken aboard a plane and soar over the Granite City.
The rally is part of the EAA Young Eagles Program, created to interest young people in aviation.
Pilots at the event will also explain more about their airplanes, allowing young people to discover how planes work and how pilots ensure safety is the prime concern before every flight.
Each pilot volunteers their time and aircraft so the flights can be provided free of charge.
Following the flight, each young person will receive a certificate making them an official Young Eagle.
Those who would like to attend the Young Eagles Rally on Saturday, May 15, are asked pre-register online at youngeaglesday.org.
There is a maximum of 60 spaces available.
