Thank You for Making History
Because of the generosity of EAA members, volunteers, pilots, donors, and supporters around the world, Mission 2.5 has reached an extraordinary milestone: 2.5 million Young Eagles have now experienced the wonder of flight.
This achievement represents far more than a number. It represents 2.5 million moments of inspiration, discovery, and possibility. For many young people, a Young Eagles flight is their first opportunity to see the world from above, ignite a passion for aviation, or envision a future they never thought possible. Every flight has the power to change a life, and together we have created millions of those life-changing experiences.
Thank you for believing in the mission and helping inspire the next generation of aviators, innovators, and leaders. The impact of 2.5 million flights will be felt for generations to come.
Mission 2.5 was a milestone, not a finish line.
Reaching 2.5 million Young Eagles flown is a remarkable achievement, but the true impact can't be measured by a number alone. It lives in the dreams that were sparked, the careers that were launched, and the countless young people who discovered new possibilities through their first flight.
Every year, thousands of young people experience the wonder of aviation through the Young Eagles program. Thanks to the unwavering commitment of EAA volunteers, pilots, members, and supporters, that tradition will continue for generations to come. While Mission 2.5 has been accomplished, our mission remains unchanged: to inspire, engage, and introduce young people to the spirit of aviation.
