Thumbs-Up for Young Eagles & Pancake Breakfasts


Perfect flying weather and the drive for adventure and new experiences brought kids and families to the Chapter and airport this morning.

Over 100 of our ‘Increasingly Famous’ Pancake Breakfasts were served and enjoyed at the Chapter Hangar, cooked and served by the EAA240 team.

Plus, it was ‘Thumbs-Up’ all-round as EAA240 and Brandywine Soaring pilots and ground crews gave 31 kids a fun airplane or glider ride but also some insights on how the aircraft operates. Through their exposure to the flight we hopefully sparked some aviation interest and gave rise to some budding future pilots! From the smiles of the kids I think we were successful!

Many thanks to today’s EAA240 and BSA teams for dedicating their time, expertise, aircraft, cooking skills and for creating a special day for so many of our dining guests, Young Eagle kids and their families. Thumbs-up!
