The Aviation Technology student organizations will host the sixth annual Fly-in/Drive-in breakfast Saturday, April 13, at the Purdue University Airport.
Tickets for the breakfast, which includes all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage, juice and coffee, are $8 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. All proceeds benefit the student organizations.
Aviation alumni are encouraged to fly in to participate. There will be free parking for aircraft and for vehicles.
The 13 flight simulators at Purdue's Holleman-Niswonger Simulator Center teach students to fly several planes using strikingly realistic equipment.
As I was walking this noon for lunch, the temperature was roughly 28 degrees with a brisk west to east wind. Even though I had my gloves on and my coat collar up, it didn’t seem as cold to me as the temperature might suggest. Perhaps it was the sun beating down or perhaps it was the budding of the tree I walked by, but in the end it felt like spring was right around the corner.
