Pancakes but Sadly no Young Eagles

Our last fund raiser breakfast before our summer break brought out many of our loyal, local breakfasters and some welcomed fly-ins who enjoyed the food, the camaraderie and the EAA240 hospitality. We’re grateful for their continued support for our volunteer efforts. The EAA240 Breakfast team had a fun morning too!

We’d hoped to fly Young Eagles too, but gusting and challenging winds made that difficult and, anxious to provide the best flight experience to our Young Eagles, the flying was cancelled for the day. We have additional Young Eagle flights planned for future dates, and these are detailed at the Events Calendar at the web site.

Great Day to Fly!

The friendly reception of Arena’s wait staff at KGED is consistently on display and appreciated, and they have food to match it! This makes KGED a regular Fly-Out destination for EAA240 members.

The six EAA240’rs and four aircraft made good time south to the Delaware Coastal airport (formerly Georgetown) KGED. Calls to the FBO for parking guidance were not answered so we scattered across two open areas of parking. Heavy jet traffic meant the prime parking locations were restricted and there was much activity as the rich-and-famous left this beach airport location for distant homes (some as far as PHL! – true!). Quite entertaining.

Likely vacation time meant EAA240 pilots & passenger count was lower than usual for this fly-out, and this was the case at Arena’s too and we had the restaurant to ourselves (almost!). The friendly staff soon had our lunch orders in-hand.

Lots of aviation-speak, interrupted only by the excellent foods and beverages and the occasional jet arrival/departure, meant a fun lunch for us all. Good times. Even better company.

See you next time? We have fly-outs planned through summer into fall. I hope you can join us. Why not?
