 Members of the Havana EAA Chapter 1420 want to
encourage anyone 18 and older with an interest in aviation to come
to the Havana Regional Airport on Saturday, May 21 for a free
introductory ride.
“Eagle Flights” are a nationally sanctioned EAA event to make an
introduction to flying accessible to a wide range of individuals 18
and up.
“No matter what age you are, it is never too late to learn to fly,”
said EAA member Bob Martin who got his pilot’s license at the age of
57. [to top of second

EAA President Evan Houghton added that there are many career
opportunities available for new pilots with a large number of senior airline
pilots expected to be retiring in the next few years.
Numerous area pilots will be on hand to answer questions and give
those attending rides around the area to get a feel for flight in the friendly
local skies.
The airport is located 6 miles south of Havana just off Route 97. Watch for
signs.
