Hot pancakes are served at the Sunday, May 29 all-you-can-eat fly-in breakfast. A total of 1,156 people attended the event, including 1,002 adults and 154 youngsters. The Canyon Pilots Association is now planning its Sunday, Sept. 4 breakfast to be held on Labor Day weekend.

The Canyon Pilots Association Labor Day Weekend All-You-Can-Eat Fly-In Breakfast is Sunday, Sept. 4 from 8 a.m. to noon indoors at the corporate hangar at the Grand Canyon Regional Airport in Delmar Township at 112 Runway Road, Wellsboro, PA 16901.

The breakfast is open to the public and will be held rain or shine. Parking is free. Handicapped parking is available.

Weather permitting, pilots in various types of full-size aircraft will fly to the airport for the breakfast.

On the menu are ham, eggs, buckwheat pancakes, coffee and orange juice. Requested is a donation of $10 for adults and $5 for youngsters, ages 3 to 8 years old. Children 2 and under will be admitted free.

All proceeds from the breakfast will be used to support youth interested in aviation. “One way we have been doing that is by providing scholarships for students, ages 16 and older who are taking flying lessons with a flight instructor,” said Canyon Pilots Association Secretary Sebastian Smith.

Members of the Canyon Country Ultralight Club will assist with the breakfast.

The Mountain Modelaires will display radio controlled airplanes and helicopters.

For more information about the Sept 4 breakfast or flight instruction scholarships for youth, 16 and older, email Sebastian Smith at sesmith@ptd.net.
