2016 Fly In Pancake Breakfast

The Bancroft Flying Club held it's annual Fly In Pancake Breakfast at the Bancroft Community Airport on Sunday, July 10th. We had 31 aircraft fly in with 10 of them return visitors from last years event. We served 475 pancake breakfasts with sausage and real maple syrup.

The low cloud in the morning was a carry over from the rainfall the day before and probably was a factor in keeping some aircraft away; however, with a good stiff breeze from the north, the cloud cover cleared quickly and we had a nice sunny day.

The flow of guests for breakfast was steady throughout the morning and there was little or no waiting in line for breakfast.

There was plenty of parking for our drive in quests on the airport property and plenty of parking for fly in guests.

Following are a few photo's from this years event.
