Teen Pilot Program?

Question

Hello, are there any pilot programs for youths who want to learn to fly. I have a big interest in flying and I want to do some program that teaches me about it. I did a search and it came up with teenpilot.org which is kind of what I want only not in Illinois. I live in Massachusetts so anywhere near me would be fine.

Answer 1

try checking with the young eagles (http://www.youngeagles.org/)

Answer 2

Check with the Civil Air Patrol they have a youth flight training camp though im not sure if there is one in your area

Answer 3

I'm sure you can go to your local airport and learn how to fly, I'm sure you can start flying its just that you cant hold a license. Good luck with your flying.

Answer 4

The Civil Air Patrol is one option, joining in the cadet program. The CAP is a civilian division of the Air Force. Here is a site for the CAP and a site to find a cadet program near you.

Also there is the Experimental Aircraft Association or EAA. They have a Young Eagles program and here is their web site.

Just some general information on learning to fly on this web site to find a school near you to contact who may be able to direct you to an organization in your area. Good luck.

Answer 5

I know the Young Eagles http://www.youngeagles.org/ or the CAP http://www.cap.gov/ are a few groups that are for teens. The CAP has a location at the Plymouth Airport in MA (i used to work there)

Hope this helps!
