For the City Times

WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Wisconsin Rapids Chapter No. 706 of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) is offering free airplane rides to kids ages 8-17 on May 8, 9 a.m. – noon, at the South Wood County Airport in Wisconsin Rapids.

The program, called Young Eagles Day, is a community service to educate youth about airplanes and aviation careers. Kids will receive a 20-minute airplane ride around the local area.

“Due to the limited number of seats, pre-registration and reservations are required online at www.youngeaglesday.com. A parent or legal guardian must be present with the child to sign a release form on the day of the event,” an event release stated.
