(Update: Article picked up by the Coastline Pilot) Twenty-eight of our teens flew an airplane and shadowed pilots as part of the Young Eagles program at Lyon Air Museum! The teens spent several hours learning about the mechanics of the planes as well as the navigation systems. They also toured the Lyons Air Museum and received special training from professional, dedicated pilots.
