About
Area youth ages 8-17 will have a chance to take to the skies at the Annual Taos Youth Flight Rally at the Taos Regional Airport. Registration forms must be picked up, completed and returned before deadline. Applications will not be accepted without a completed registration. A drawing will be held before the event and a pre-determined number of participants selected at random will be contracted to schedule a time on a specific date. The Taos Youth Flight Rally event created to interest young people in aviation. Airplane rides are FREE. We hope to build one-to-one relationships between our Taos Local Pilots and young people, giving a new generation a chance to learn more about the possibilities that exist in the world of aviation. Pilots at the event will also explain more about their airplanes allowing young people to discover how airplanes work and how pilots ensure each flight is conducted in a safe manner. Each pilot volunteers their time, fuel and aircraft so the flights can be provided free of charge for interested young people. Note, all participants must be pre-registered and accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. This event is weather permitting and pilot availability.
