The Season of Pancakes has Begun - Half Fast Flying Adventures

The Season of Pancakes has Begun 04/13/2009

On Saturday, we enjoyed our first fly-in breakfast for 2009 - the ISU Flying Cyclones and Haps hosted pancakes for all those who decided to fly or drive (or in our case, walk three hangars down) to the Ames airport on an absolutely beautiful spring morning. The food was good, the people were great, and the variety of airplanes was amazing. Everything from a pair of nicely restored L-birds to a Cessna 170 and 195 with fresh, immaculate paint jobs. It was a busy morning - with a few dozen planes coming in for breakfast, airplane rides, helicopter rides, and jumps.

And, of course, I chose this day to forget my camera (dang it!). So, I pulled out this old picture of the US Airways Hudson River Landing. Just in case you need another reason to fly first class.

Brian and Rachel Aukes are aviation nuts based in Iowa. They love to fly, and when the weather keeps them on the ground, they love to talk about flying. When they aren't in the air, Brian keeps the airplanes running while Rachel keeps this website running (looks like I got the cleaner job).
