Youths ages 8 to 17 can learn about aviation by taking a flight on a small aircraft Saturday, and it’s all free.

Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 857 is hosting a Young Eagles Rally from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Pittsburgh-Butler Regional Airport on Airport Road in Penn Township.

Each youth will spend 15 to 20 minutes in the air and pilots will go through the flight plan with each young passenger.

The program is meant to expose young people to aviation and possibly spark an interest in the field.

Registration is required at youngeaglesday.org, or by calling Theodore Merklin at 412-496-9793.
