Young Eagles Program @ C55 Airport (2021)
(Oct. 3, 2021) = C55 Airport Young Eagle flight instructors, Ger Hough & Jon Bargren had a fun morning giving some kids a ride in the airplanes & teaching them some basics about the aircraft! These boys are now members of the EAA Young Eagles program. Congrats!

Ryan, a senior this year in high school, has been participating in the Young Eagles program for a couple of years at the Ogle County Airport.  His passion for aviation has him currently exploring his college options as he tries to find the school with the best aviation program.  Thanks to the C55 Young Eagles instructors and the EAA Young Eagles Program for youth, Ryan has been able to expand his love for aviation and is anxious to start his aviation career!
