In the April 2020 EAA 430 newsletter, Renee Brilhante was featured in our Women in Aviation article. In the February EAA Sport Aviation, Renee and her boyfriend, Corben Meyer, are featured in a several page article An Empowered Couple Empowering Kids. Renee referenced her first flight as a Young Eagle in a small airplane, an EAA 430 YE flight with Alan Barnard in his 1947 Stinson (Big Red) and how it changed and directed her life. She now flies Young Eagles, and, along with Corben (an AP), they have a plan to start teaching kids to fly RC planes and move them forwards. It’s always fun to know how our own EAA 430 Chapter influenced a young person and their future in aviation.
