On Saturday, July 11, the skies over Fredericksburg welcomed a new group of future aviators as Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 1088 hosted another successful Young Eagles Rally.

For many of these young participants, this was their very first airplane ride - a memorable experience that may very well spark a lifelong passion for aviation.

As the aircraft climbed away from the runway, the Young Eagles experienced the world from a whole new perspective.
