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!
