Young Eagles

What is Young Eagles?


The Young Eagles program was designed to encourage young people to experience flying for themselves. Young Eagles start with your local Aero Club. It provides the opportunity for young people to consider flying for sport and recreation or a career as a Commercial Pilot. An added bonus is it enables them to have some fun while learning about aviation.

When do we meet?


At the Motueka Aero Club, Young Eagles tend to meet on the last Sunday of the month starting from 10 and finishing around 12. Club day is on the last Sunday of the month and is a great time for Young Eagles to meet other club members
