This was the 5th Annual
New Year's Day Pancake Breakfast and Fly-In at the Molalla field.
This one was by far the coldest. We have had rain, fog, clear
skies, and finally snow. Grant made his famous blueberry
pancakes, lots of sausages, and fried eggs. He brought out the
big heater and a new large coffee pot. Besides Grant, some of
the first pilots of the year were Joe Topper and Bob Hoover. Joe
flew the first Heli and Bob flew the first fixed wing aircraft of the
New Year. Mike McGuyer flew the first electric plane.
Others in attendance
included Jerry Tofte and Jerry Roberts. There was a lot of fun
even if the weather wasn't the best.
