Aircraft Spruce, a long-time supporter of the EAA Young Eagles program is promoting the program to the aviation community throughout the southeast.

2012 marks the second year that Aircraft Spruce has supported the Young Eagles’ flights in Peachtree City.

Flights will be coordinated by Williamson-based EAA Chapter 468.  While pre-registration is not required, interested pilots or potential Young Eagles may contact Rich Woodcock, 770-605-3818or Eaa468president@gmail.com.
