Free Airplane Rides!

From the Facebook page for Patriot's Path council. It's not a troop 108 activity, but your scout and other family members might enjoy it:

Sunday, October 18th Explorer Post 7 out of the Lincoln Park Airport will be holding their inaugural meeting and official launch of their brand new Post. Everyone is invited to come early and take advantage of the EAA Young Eagle Day starting at 9am. Meeting will begin at 1pm and conclude at 3pm.

Young Eagle Flights are free airplane rides for youth age 8-17. EAA (Experimental Aviation Association) Chapter 501 aircraft owners and pilots will be donating their time and talents to give rides to youth right at Lincoln Park Airport located at 425 Beaverbrook Rd #2 in Lincoln Park. If you want to participate in a Young Eagle Flight, it is mandatory that your parent/guardian is at the airport with you. The current Explorers will be presenting several activities for the youth to enjoy. For more information contact Linda Scully lscully –at - lpawings.com

And remember -- there is an Aviation Merit Badge!
