Despite Mother Nature’s best attempts, Saturday turned out to be a great day at the airport! While we had to cancel our Young Eagles event, everything else went according to plan. Over 100 cars showed up, and plenty of hungry and thirsty people stopped by our FBO coffee and donut station, or at the main hangar Pancake Breakfast. Keeping the hangar door mostly closed helped block the wind and cold air, offering our guests a comfortable place to have a bite and socialize.

Our volunteer team did an excellent job – after a long winter break, they quickly got up to speed and churned out pancakes, sausages, scrambled eggs, grilled vegetables and home fries fast enough to keep up with the high demand. We had a good turnout, and there was no time for a break for most of the day. Most importantly, though – we all had fun.

Outside, it was a busy ramp, bustling with cars and car enthusiasts. A few of our chapter members brought their own, including, among other cars, a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II!

Thank you very much for joining us Saturday and making this a successful event, despite the changing weather. A special thank you to our team of volunteers! We couldn’t have done this without your help.

What’s next?
Our May membership meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 4th. Bring your favorite Star Wars shirt and any other memorabilia that’s easy to carry. Leave the X-Wings and TIE Fighters at home – parking space is limited!
We have a fly-out scheduled on May 9th, and we’ll be flying to Massey Aerodrome for their Chili Fiesta!
We’re planning another Pancake Breakfast and Young Eagles event on June 27th, and we can always use an extra hand. Check the website and watch your e-mails for volunteering opportunities.
