CONWAY — In an effort to increase interest in aviation, Eastern Slope Regional Airport will hold its first Young Eagles Rally this Saturday from noon-4 p.m., offering free plane rides to kids age 8-17.
Ed Bergeron, secretary of the Eastern Slope Regional Airport Authority, said children will be given 15-minute flights and also receive a one-year free membership to the Young Eagles EAA chapter along with their own logbook.
