GALESBURG, IL – An airport breakfast is the traditional send-off for planes and pilots departing after the 6-day-long National Stearman Fly-In.
The all-you-can-eat breakfast, served by the Galesburg Noon Lions Club, will conclude the 48th National Stearman Fly-In at Galesburg Municipal Airport.
The breakfast will be served from 7 to 11 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 9, in the Jet Air, Inc. hangar. It is open to the general public as well as Fly-In participants and other aviation enthusiasts.
The menu includes pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, coffee, milk and orange juice. Prices are $7 for adults and $3 for children 12 and under.
Proceeds from the breakfast will benefit Lions Club projects.
WASP helped turn the tide into victory in World War II
In the fall of 1942, 1,830 women volunteered to join the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP).
They were sent deep into the heart of Texas to train at Avenger Field at Sweetwater — 236 miles southeast Amarillo, and 181 miles west of Fort Worth.
Airplanes are designed to fly, and that’s a hallmark of Fly-In
Airplanes are meant to fly.
That’s what makes the 6-day-long National Stearman Fly-In, which starts here on Labor Day, different from many other warbird reunions.
