"In September of 1949, with the change of the Senior Scouts program to Explorers, Air Scouts became Air Explorers. At first, the only initial change was in the name, and in a lower of the age to 14. Later on, in 1953, there would be a change in the advancement program. In 1959, the Air Explorer program was unaffected by the change in the Explorer program becoming Exploring. It would be in October of 1965 that the Air Explorer program as it was know would come to an end, becoming nothing more then another career oriented program of Exploring to be known as Aviation Exploring. Later, the October deadline was extended to March 15, 1966. Air Explorer ProgramThe program of Air Explorers was identical to that of Air Scouts: a pre-flight aeronautics program for older boys inspired by the Air Force, much as the Sea Scout program was inspired by nautical traditions and the Navy."
