Young Eagles Program

[NTXPilot]

Was looking into doing some volunteer work and came across this program-best of both worlds, volunteer and introduce people into aviation. Looking into being a volunteer pilot. Anyone else have any experience with this program?

I flew a little over 50 Young Eagles back in the late 90s. It was loads of fun. I recommend you do it.

It sounds like a good organization. Do you worry about insurance when flying with other peoples kids? Almost seems like a recipe for disaster.

I never did. I had hull and liability insurance. In addition, everyone had to sign a liability waiver before we took a flight.

It was no more of a liability to me than flight instructing. Just think of it as younger students

Good to know. I was wondering about the insurance thing as well.
