The Weekender: Chili, Chowder and Pancakes

0

The Weekender’s SocialFlight calendar has everything from ski flying up north to summer-like fun in the southwest, whatever your preference. EAA Chapter 745 will host a Ski Fly-in/Drive-in Pancake Breakfast Saturday at Benson Airport in Minnesota. The private turf runway is not plowed, so it’s tailored for skiplanes if there’s snow on the ground. Fuel is available, but call ahead to check. Grumman pilots can also enjoy winter flying Saturday in Saratoga Spring, New York, at the next Grumman gathering. Meet at the FBO for a ride into town for Chowderfest, where local restaurants will serve up samples of their best chowder during the annual Winterfest.

Also Saturday, if you’re gearing up for the next day’s big game, South Lakeland in Florida will host a Super Bowl Saturday Fly-in with a pancake breakfast and hot dog lunch. Still looking for more comfort food this weekend? Lunch on Cincinnati chili and coneys during the Rio Colorado 99s 10th Annual Poker Run. Fly the run from 8 ’til noon and turn in your hand by 1 for your chance at prizes. Proceeds will benefit the 99s’ scholarship fund. For more events coming up this week, visit SocialFlight.
