Audubon Municipal Airport was the site of a Flight Breakfast, Sunday morning. Officials with the Audubon Chamber of Commerce report 649 people were served a meal of ham and cheese omelets, pancakes, coffee, juice and milk, from 6:30-until 10:30-a.m. That’s a slightly lower number of persons attending than last year’s event, but there were more aircraft that flew-in this year, than in 2015.

52 planes arrived at the airport to partake in the annual event. Pilots and their passengers were served their meals for free. Aircraft flew in from 24 communities in Iowa, seven were from Nebraska, and one came from Kansas. Officials say it was a perfect day for flying.

In addition to the pilots, bicycle clubs riding-in on the T-Bone Trail came to enjoy the event, as well. The Chamber was pleased with the great local support it received to help make the Flight Breakfast a success. The annual Flight Breakfast is the major fundraiser for the Audubon Chamber of Commerce and is held the first Sunday in June.
