Our annual September Labour day pancake fly-in is coming up this weekend. My RV hanger gets used as the main feeding area and cook house. My CH701 hanger gets used by the model aircraft club for their static displays. I am having to abandon Tango Lima Lima for the next week as I clean up my mess and make the place ready for our guests. We typically have 80 to 100 aircraft fly in and serve over 600 meals in the short period of 3 hours. I’m the flight line director and control the ground movement of the aircraft coming and going. It gets totally hectic for a while as I try and keep the bottle necks un-plugged. We love it and so do all our guests.

Post Breakfast Update:

It was a fantastic day. The weather was great, winds were almost calm, slightly favouring runway 25. We had over 80 aircraft fly in to the event and we served in excess of 600 meals. There were no incidents in the circuit, other than some minor crowding between the fast and slow aircraft. We had a dozen RVs attend and it was a chance to meet and talk about our projects. Finally met Troy Branch from Calgary and had a look at his beautiful RV10. Nice work Troy!
