Second Saturday Breakfast and Program on Saturday, October 12th 8 a.m.

On Saturday, October 12th, we will be having our Second Saturday Pancake Breakfast from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. at the EAA hangar, S-12 at the Lincoln Regional Airport. If you are not familiar with the airport, navigate to Flight Line Drive and follow the “EAA” signs. All are welcome.

We’ll be cooking pancakes, eggs, and other good stuff from 8:00 am to 9:30 am when the grill shuts down, so come early. Breakfast is $10.00 per person, $5.00 per youth under 17, or $25.00 per family. We’ll also happily renew your chapter dues for 2024. Cost is $30 for individuals or families. We’ll have our flight simulators up and running and attended to help you or your kids take flight.

At 9:30 we will have a presentation entitled “Owning and flying 1930’s military history: the Ryan PT-21 and PT-22”  by Will Gottenberg and Mike Anderson.

Mike has the distinction of owning the only airworthy PT-21 left in the world, and flies formation with Will’s PT-22 when Will’s airline pilot day job permits.  Both World War II trainer aircraft are hangared at Lincoln, and will be present just outside the EAA hangar on Saturday, October 12th starting at 0930.  The Ryans were built in San Diego and colloquially known as “Maytag Messerschmitts” by the cadets in training because of the distinctive sound of their 5 cylinder radial engines.  [You can hear the sound of those engines here as the aircraft arrive at the meeting.]  They are truly “historic large jewelry” and a treat to behold up close. Bring your camera for a historic selfie with these famous military trainers on Saturday morning, October 12th.
