Flippin’ flapjacks! There’s some high flyin’ action set for Sunday, May 28 as Community Aviation Day and Fly-In Drive-In Breakfast takes flight from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport!

There’s even a helicopter candy drop and bounce house for kids!
Created as a means of welcoming the public to the wonders of aviation, the popular Mt. Pocono Rotary fundraiser has evolved to become quite the Memorial Weekend draw. Focusing on worthy causes throughout the community, this year’s Rotary selection to receive a portion of proceeds is Monroe County Special Olympics.
MCSO Program Manager, Kerri Manning Freeo, comments, “Community Aviation Day is one week before our program leaves for Summer State Games,” adding, “What a wonderful way to send our athletes off as they prepare to compete.”
Aviation Day admission is FREE with Rotarians and area volunteers serving up some scrumptious morning delicacies during the fundraiser breakfast at a cost of $10 for adults and kids under 12 $6.
Don’t miss FREE plane rides for kids ages 8-17 provided by Young Eagles EAA Program 9a.m. to 1p.m.with helicopter rides bringing in additional dollars for the cause courtesy of Moyer Aviation, Papillon & Moyer and Hi-Tech Helicopters donating airborne excursion opportunities.
