East Hill Flying Club served more than 1,200 at Sunday's Father's Day Fly-in breakfast. The all-you-can-eat menu included local eggs and sausage, pancakes, New York State maple syrup, applesauce, and beverages. Two continuous lines formed, and the club's hangar was filled with visitors all morning.The club offered scenic flights over Cornell and Tompkins County. Sciencenter brought an aviation exhibit, the Civil Air Patrol was on hand, and the Cornell Raptor program brought a golden eagle and saw-wet owl.
The not-for-profit club holds fly-in breakfasts a few times a year to help support the club's flying and educational activities. members volunteer to do everything from slinging pancakes to piloting scenic rides. The club owns about 8 planes from two-seat trainers to a four-seat twin engine model.
