Free airplane rides to be offered Saturday

The Sidney City Airport will be hosting a Young Eagles Rally at the airport on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Launched in 1992, the Young Eagles program has dedicated 30 years to giving youth ages 8–17 their first free ride in an airplane.

It’s the only program of its kind, with the sole mission to introduce and inspire kids in the world of aviation.

Today, over 2.3 million young people have enjoyed a free introductory flight through the Young Eagles program. These flights are made possible through the generosity of member volunteers.
