Default Young Eagle Safety

By the way, I emailed the EAA to ask about the 1998 Colorado crash during
what appeared (according to the NTSB report) to be a Young Eagles flight.
They explained that according to their own investigation, the passenger had
turned 18 and was no longer a Young Eagle, but instead was a volunteer at
the Young Eagles flight rally earlier in the day. They say they told this to
the NTSB at the time. (I see no reason to doubt their explanation, so I'd
agree that the flight was indeed not a Young Eagles flight.)
