Join us Saturday for another Pancake Breakfast with New Garden Flying Field Cars, Coffee, and Airplanes! The airport will be buzzing with activity, as we plan on flying Young Eagles as well (weather permitting) and the airport will be holding its Cars and Coffee event.
We need volunteers for two shift on Saturday, June 27th to support coffee service and the pancake breakfast. We had a blast last time and need your help!
We’ll start serving food at 8am, rain or shine, and wrap up around 1PM.
The low ceilings and rain forecast for Saturday force us to cancel our Young Eagles event. Our Pancake Breakfast is still happening, though. Come join us in our heated hangar for a great breakfast and plenty of aviation talk!
Join us Saturday for our first Pancake Breakfast of the year! The airport will be buzzing with activity, as we plan on flying Young Eagles as well (weather permitting) and the airport will be holding its Cars and Coffee event. Bring your family and friends and come have breakfast with us! It’s a great way to hang out and your patronage helps us provide free flights for kids and flight scholarships. We’ll start serving food at 8am, rain or shine, and wrap up around noon.
Saturday was a very eventful day at New Garden Airport!
Despite the overcast and occasional morning showers we were able to get airborne for our Young Eagles event! Nineteen young pilots took to the skies, most as their first experience in an airplane, and all landed excited and energized from the experience. Many were able to experience flying the plane and communicating on the radio. Parents were so thankful that Chapter 240 could offer such a wonderful opportunity to their young and eager children! Our local Civil Air Patrol members were also present to help with safety as excited Young Eagles boarded planes and proud parents snapped pictures.
As an added bonus we fired up our hot dog stand and served a delicious combination of hot dogs, chips, and a drink! That also was our practice run for the New Garden Air/Car/Tractor Show where we will put our culinary skills to the test. New Garden FBO also hosted a Rusty Pilots presentation. Those who participated also saw many excited kids and parents as well as enjoying a delicious hot dog lunch!
Thanks to all who volunteered and brought excitement to a dreary weather day!!
We will be sending out a call for Airshow volunteers in the next few days. We’re looking at a couple really busy days, with breakfasts being served both mornings, and hot dogs served in the afternoons both days and Saturday evening. Consider helping us with that (it’s one of our largest fundraisers of the year) and register using the links that will be provided in the upcoming e-mails and announcements.
Join us Saturday, July 19th for a Flying Hot Dogs event. Replacing our Pancake Breakfast, we’ll be serving hot dogs instead, to get our feet wet before the main act, which will be the New Garden Airshow on August 23-24.
We’ll start serving hot dogs around 8:30, planning on wrapping up around noon. If you’d like to volunteer for this, drop us an e-mail at events@eaa240.org.
We’ll also be flying Young Eagles, starting at 9am, weather permitting. If you’re between the ages of 8 and 17, join us for a free flight. If you’d like to help us with this event, e-mail the Young Eagles coordinator at YoungEagles@eaa240.org.
On the topic of volunteering, if you’d like to help us with our breakfast and food service during the New Garden Airshow, it’s time to mark your calendars and let us know. We’re planning on running a morning and an afternoon shift on both days. Drop us a line if you’re interested in helping us at events@eaa240.org.
Join us for our June Pancake Breakfast & Young Eagles Flight Event. A great breakfast, hanging out with friends, and kids will get free flights. A great way to enjoy your Saturday morning!
We can always use a few more helping hands when organizing these events – if you are interested in helping us, drop us a line at events@eaa240.org.
Sadly, weather conditions on Saturday morning (May 26th) are forecast to be low cloud ceilings and rain, unsuitable for Young Eagles flights. Reviewing the weather we have opted to cancel our flights for this Saturday.
Instead, visit the airport and our Chapter and enjoy a delicious Breakfast with us! We serve our increasingly famous Pancake Breakfast from 8:30am to around noon, and would be happy to see you! More information here
