This morning we went to our local airport - Barstow - where they held a pancake breakfast. They hold this type of event between May and September of each year where local folks can come and see the different types of airplanes people own around the state. Other local airports hold similar events throughout the spring and summer months and send around a general invitation. Such events also supports the local economy and the airport.
