This half day program is designed to help adults (18 and up) explore various flight training goals and pathways. It will introduce you to other pilots, students, instructors, and flight training options. We will discuss various opportunities you may have after completing flight training. Not just for airplanes but also for Light Sport (LSA), rotor wing, gliders, and Trikes.

EAA 179 presents these programs when we have received interest from enough participants to schedule an event. If you are interested in attending an EAA 179 Flying Start event, please send your inquiry via eMail to flyingstart@eaa179.org and we will contact you with dates and location for when you are invited to “Come Fly with Us!’’
