In an effort to get kids back into aviation and thus help slow or even stop the declining pilot population, Alpha Tango Charlie at EAA AirVenture said it is offering a discount on its aviation trading cards for aviation education and learn-to-fly organizations. ‘Several EAA chapters offer them to Young Eagle kids to help reinforce the thrilling memory of their first flight,” company President Tom Trainor said. “This is a new tool available to help inspire and encourage kids to become interested and involved in aviation.” Each $2.99 pack contains 11 cards — eight aircraft cards, two trivia cards and a bonus card. Six pack bundles are also available for $17.99.
The base set features 88 different aircraft cards, spanning vintage airplanes, warbirds, gliders, seaplanes, prop singles and twins, business jets and more. Each card has a high-quality image in the front and interesting facts on the back.
