Ready to take wing this summer? Children fly for FREE!
The Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 944, Chillicothe, is hosting its 26th Annual Fly-In/Drive-In event on Saturday, Aug. 25 at the Chillicothe Municipal Airport. This year’s event features free flights for all Young Eagles, age eight to 17, a pancake breakfast and lunch by Wabash BBQ. Opening ceremonies will be held at 8 am, then – if the weather permits – free rides in the airplanes will begin. “A lot of kids haven’t had the opportunity to be around a small airplane,” says Raymond Hamilton, one of the pilots.

“They may have been in an airliner, but this is totally different; this is one on one.” He explains that the name of the chapter “Experimental Aircraft” may be misleading. “Nobody flies Young Eagles in an

experimental airplane at this event,” he says. The children will be flown in small planes that are two-seaters and four-seaters and are all manufactured airplanes.
There will be Pipers and Cessnas and other name brand airplanes. Parents must be present and sign for the children flying. Children eight to 17 can fly free with their parent’s signature. The ride lasts about 15 minutes and the flight will follow a routine pattern over Chillicothe. Expect a little delay for traffic, as planes will be taxiing to get off the ground while others will be landing. Approximately 10 airplanes are scheduled to fly in this late summer event. Each of the pilots are EAA Club members and donate their time and plane.
