2015 Fly In Pancake Breakfast
The Bancroft Flying Club held it's annual Fly In Pancake Breakfast at the Bancroft Community Airport on Sunday, July 12th. The weather could have not been better. We had over 50 aircraft fly in, 640 people were served breakfast and consumed 31 litres of maple syrup.
W.M. Aeroflight from Peterborough kept their two (2) Cessna 172's flying all day Saturday and Sunday conducting 42 site seeing flights around Bancroft. Member Charles Burkholder had a Mission Aviation Fellowship display and our clubs aircraft maintenance provider, Brian Freymond owner of Freymond Aviation was on hand to handle any aircraft maintenance requests. Car parking was provided on airport property for the first time and was very well received. There was also dedicated handicap parking and motorcycle parking. The dedicated food line for fly in pilots and their passengers was also well received with little or no wait time for food. Check out the July 2015 edition of Canadian Aviator magazine. There is a great article there written by Peter Lubig on our annual fly in pancake breakfast. Following are a few photo's from this years event |
