After flying more than 10,500 miles in 33 days, through
45 states and giving more than 100 individual free
flights to young aviation enthusiasts, the Eagle
Flight's Phase I journey came to a successful end when
it landed 7 minutes early at 2:53 pm on July 1, 2005.
Work will begin immediately on next year's
circumnavigation of the globe and details will be posted
as they become available. The plane has been secured
for the world flight and the route finalized. The route
will be released this November and the aircraft for
phase II will be unveiled next spring.
The entire Eagle Flight team would like to thank our
sponsors, supporters and volunteers who helped
make Phase I a reality and we look forward to working
with you in the year ahead.
The Eagle Flight team has already started the production
of the DVD documentary detailing the entire Phase I
journey. The documentary will be premiered at our fall
fundraiser, Night for Flight II, scheduled for November
12, 2005 in Boise, Idaho. The documentary is being
produced by Terrest Productions in Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan, Canada and will be available for purchase
during and after the premier. To pre-order your copy,
