A parent or guardian must be in attendance to sign for the young flier and to wait while the flight takes place. These the flights will take place in single engine, 2 or 4 place airplanes, both “certified” and “Experimental”.
Mike Payne of Port Townsends Aero Museum has invited the Young Eagles crew to use the museum property as the staging grounds for the event and parking. Ray Ballantyne, president of EAA #430, is excited to make this first ever event in Port Townsend a fun day for all.
