Teens to attend aeronautics camp

Truckee Chapter 1073 of the Experimental Aircraft Association is awarding three scholarships to local Young Eagles to attend EAA’s Air Academy this summer at Oshkosh, Wis.

Keely Hoyt of Truckee will attend the Advanced Air Academy for 16- to 18-year-olds; Kestrel Sura of Kings Beach and Hayden Ruttenberg of Truckee will attend the Basic Air Academy for 14- and15-year-olds.

Air Academy camps designed to introduce young people to the aviation world. Participants explore aviation through technical and learning classrooms as well as hands-on experiences from knowledgeable instructors.

The next Young Eagles rally will occur the day after the July 9 Truckee Tahoe Air Show & Family Festival. Registration occurs at the air show, at the EAA chapter hangar on the airport, and flights will start at 8am on July 10.
