More than two dozen youth from the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe of Nevada took the skies and became Young Eagles over the weekend.
The kids flew in small planes and served as co-pilots. "Awesome!" said 10-year-old Breanna Vogelsmeier after her flight was over, The Nevada Appeal reported.
The tribe organized the event with the Experimental Aircraft Association. Actor Harrison Ford is chairman of the group.
