The 2013 Fly In and Pancake Breakfast marked the 50th Anniversary of the Bancroft Flying Club and Bancroft Community Airport. In spite of the damp weather, there were twenty (20) aircraft that flew in and over 425 people were served breakfast.

There were a couple of aviation related exhibits that included
Mission Aviation Fellowship, Centreline Aviation Services and W.M. Aeroflight. Also present was Brian Freymond, owner of Freymond Aviation who provides maintenance for many of the owners at the Bancroft Airport and the Clubs Cessna 172.
