\u201cEAA\u2019s mission is growing participation in aviation and in\n2019, after EAA reduced admission costs for students, we saw an increased\nnumber of families coming to AirVenture,\u201d said Jack J. Pelton, EAA\u2019s\nCEO\/chairman of the board. \u201cInspiring young people and giving them a first look\nat what\u2019s possible in aviation is only achievable if they can get in the gate.\nThis effort will build on the more than 60 years where AirVenture has earned a\nreputation as a wonderful family event. We\u2019re incredibly appreciative of\nBoeing\u2019s support and like EAA, Boeing is committed to inspiring the next\ngeneration of aeronautical innovators. Because of Boeing\u2019s belief in our\nmission, we can invite youth from around the world to experience AirVenture at\nno cost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The free youth admission is available throughout AirVenture\nweek. Along with Boeing\u2019s financial support, a small fee on AirVenture advanced\npurchase adult admissions and value-added opportunities such as the Aviators\nClub will support this free admission opportunity for young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Boeing, we aim to inspire and prepare the next\ngeneration of innovators, and EAA AirVenture provides a unique opportunity to\nencourage the natural curiosity of young people,\u201d said William Ampofo, vice\npresident, Business Aviation, General Aviation & OEM Services, Boeing\nGlobal Services. \u201cWe are proud to provide an opportunity for thousands of youth\nto experience this world-class event, and be inspired to use their talents,\ncreativity and vision for the future of aviation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
