Congratulation!!!  We like to thank Lloyd Richards for all his devotion and compation to fly all these kids as he celebrates 2300 children from the age of 7 to 18 yrs of age that join the ranks as Young Eagles. This program was started many years ago to get interest in young kids that never had the experience of flight. Hoping one day that they would become pilots themselves.
