MOUNT VERNON — Foul weather canceled an event last weekend allowing young people to take free airplane rides at the Mt. Vernon Outland Airport, but all is not lost thanks to the EAA Chapter 1155 scheduling a makeup date.

Due to rainy weather last weekend, the Young Eagles Rally was canceled but rescheduled for Saturday, June 15 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Outland Airport, weather permitting. You can enter through the Bonnie Café Flightline entrance area at the airport.

Parental signed consent is required before kids can take a flight. Forms will be available at the rally.

The EAA says its sole mission is to introduce and inspire young people to the world of aviation.
