We are now two months into Mission 2.5, and a handful of pilots have already flown 25 Young Eagles as we approach 2.5 million Young Eagles flown!

As we roll into 2026, EAA is announcing an additional incentive, and this one focuses on the recruitment of new Young Eagles pilots through the local chapter network. For every first-time Young Eagles pilot associated with a specific chapter, that chapter will earn an additional $25 in Young Eagles credits. This incentive will run January 1, 2026, through July 31, 2026. These credits will be rolled into the 2026 Young Eagles credit earnings and made available in 2027.
As a reminder, any volunteer pilot that rises to the challenge and flies 25 Young Eagles or more from October 1, 2025, through July 31, 2026, will be issued a limited-edition commemorative hat courtesy of Sporty’s. Pilots will be able to track their progress via EAA’s website, as well as keep up with their fellow pilots’ progress.
Now is your chance to say you played a role in history — I hope you join us! Learn more at EAA.org/Fly25YE.
