Eaa provides flight experiences in vintage and historical aircraft at local airports to educate the public about the history and role of aircraft over time and inspire a future generation to engage in aviation. These aircraft serve as a living history that holds a remarkable connection to the past. Making these aircraft accessible to the public increases the public's knowledge about the role of aviation in commerce and security, the engineering advances that promoted aviation and the ways in which aircraft redefined world travel. This year over 59,000 flight experiences were provided and nearly 8,500 air tours were given on our aircraft that toured the united states. Tour stops are hosted by volunteers who are passionate about sharing stories about the planes on the tour and educating (continued on schedule o) the attendees about the importance of aviation.
