By
EAA writer, Barbara A. Schmitz Tony Yacono
said he simply is enjoying what he’s doing.
But
others don’t see it that way, and that’s why he is receiving
the Chapter Coordinator Award.Yacono has been a Young Eagles
coordinator for 12 years, and he personally has flown more
than 500 youth. In fact, under his leadership, EAA Chapter 724
has flown 3,704 Young Eagles.Yacono said he became involved in
the program because someone cared enough to give him his first
airplane ride at 12. Now 80, he has accumulated about 6,000
hours’ flight time."My opinion is that I need to give
something back to the youngsters; that’s why I am doing this."
Yet "the biggest kid in the airplane is the one behind the
controls," he said.Still he can tell countless stories of the
real kids who became excited by their flights, like a family
of three girls, who the mother said wouldn’t say a word in the
sky. "They wouldn’t stop talking because they were so
excited," he said. "I had to ask them not to say anything when
I was getting ready to land."Yacono said it takes a lot of
work to put on a Young Eagles rally. "A lot of people run
their tail off, and everyone deserves a great deal of credit.
While I am appreciative of the award, I am going to accept it
for all the people who help."
