On May 1st, 2022, we had a very successful Young Eagles rally at Ferguson Airport.

We flew 19 Young Eagles flown with 7 planes and over 15 ground volunteers! It was a beautiful sunny day and everyone had a blast. We had people from all around Pensacola and Alabama come out to experience the thrill of flight. I am so glad we had such a good turnout from the community and as always, thank you to our pilots and ground volunteers for your incredible enthusiasm and help throughout the day. None of this would be possible without you!
Check out the photos and slideshow below.
