Free airplane rides for kids on Saturday

Volunteers from the Truckee Tahoe Chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association, EAA No. 1073, will fly kids for free at Lake Tahoe Airport on Sept. 4 starting at 8am.

Children between the ages of 8-17 are welcome, but must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

The mission of this event is to provide young aviators with a free flight experience. As a result of last week’s high winds, this event was postponed. Saturday is the rescheduled date.

Free airplane rides are subject to weather, in addition to pilot and aircraft availability. Children should arrive at the terminal building at Lake Tahoe Airport accompanied by their parents, proceed downstairs to the lower level entrance where registration will take place.
