We had a great turnout at the first Young Eagle Rally at Sequim Valley Airport on Saturday, May 19. Seven pilots from EAA chapter 430, and two pilots from neighboring chapters, gave rides to around 70 kids. The weather was perfect and a good time was had by all. It was especially fun to see the reactions of the kids who were on their first flight. We had a good turnout of ground crew to make the registration and escort activities go smoothly
