The annual Jaycee Flight Breakfast tradition will continue July 4th with the addition of the A-26 Invader “Lady Liberty,” the only American built combat aircraft to see action in World War II, Korea, and VietNam.

“The A-26 was scheduled to appear at the Fly Iowa Air Show last September and had some mechanical issues, that prevented the visit,” Fly Iowa Chairman Garry Pellett said. “We’ve made special arrangements for this additional event in partnership with the Jaycees for our communities to enjoy.”

The plane will be available for walk-on tours during the Jaycees Flight Breakfast and will also do fly-overs throughout the morning. Breakfast is from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. rain or shine at the Atlantic Municipal Airport, 59706 Highland Road. Bounce houses will also be available for children.

Planes won’t be the only things taking to the sky, as another local favorite, The Pancake Man, will toss hundreds of pancakes onto attendees plates. The breakfast also includes sausage and a drink for $6 per plate. All funds raised support the Jaycees Fourth of July Fireworks Display. Fireworks and music will begin at dusk with concessions provided by the Kiwanis Club beforehand. The rain date is July 5th for fireworks.

“The Flight Breakfast, business donations and donations from the general public support the fireworks show 100 percent,” Jaycee Fireworks’ chair Brad Peerbolte said. “The A-26 is a great addition to our annual celebration and we hope it helps bring even more attendees out to enjoy the holiday.”
