On Saturday, Feb. 1st, the troop will be participating with the EAA Young Eagles program at the Hickory airport and have the opportunity to earn the Aviation merit badge. This will be a great chance to earn an awesome merit badge! Part of the course will include the chance to to take a short (15-20 min) flight with a fully credentialed pilot from the Hickory area. We will meet at the airport at 9am and should be able to complete the merit badge sometime shortly after lunch. There is no cost to participate and other activities will include a visit to the Aviation Museum and the air traffic control tower at the airport. The Cafe at the airport has a special low-cost lunch deal for the participants of the Young Eagles Program.
However, I need a headcount for them to make arrangements for enough planes and pilots needed. So, please respond to me via email to let me know if your scout will be there.
Thanks!
Mark
