Airplane Rides at Pioneer Airport
All airplane rides from Pioneer Airport are suspended for the 2020 season due to COVID-19. Operations will resume in 2021.
Your visit to the EAA Aviation Museum isn’t complete until you go on a brief trip of your own in an airplane departing from Pioneer Airport and its plush grass runway.
Flight reservations are generally not made in advance. Flights are sold day of at Pioneer Airport and passengers assigned to the next available flight. There is often instant availability, and waiting times are very rarely more than 45 minutes.
Anyone under the age of 18 is required to have a waiver form co-signed by their parent or legal guardian. This is true for Young Eagles flights as well as vintage aircraft flights.
