EAA Chapter 119 invites the public to our Watsonville Airport hangar to visit, talk airplanes, see some cool stuff and what happens at a small airport. Normally we fly kids for free on the first Saturday of the month as part of our Young Eagles program. The airspace is expected to be busy due to the superbowl so we are staying safely on the ground. Thus the open house. We plan to have the following:
Wind tunnel aerodynamics - How do planes fly?
Flight Sims - Old fashioned to modern.
Airspace monitoring - What is flying in the air right now?
Airport information - What is happening at the airport?
Aircraft tools and materials - How are airplanes built?
Flight training info - How to get your pilots license.
Eagle Flights - If interested in pursuing flight training you may get a flight.
No registration is required but it would be nice to have a clue how many are coming. You can get into the Young Eagles system by registering HERE or just send a text to 831-531-8440 or email fly44d@gmail.com. Or just come!
We will be open from 9am to 4pm on February 7th
Location: 60 Aviation Way, Watsonville CA 95076
