Annual Dawn Patrol breakfast event held

HOUGHTON LAKE – The Roscommon County Blodgett Memorial Airport hosted their annual Dawn Patrol Fly-in/Drive-in breakfast event on Sunday, June 5.

Sponsored by Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 1580, the event started off with a dine in or carry out breakfast, which included pancakes, sausage, eggs, juices, coffee and freshly made donuts, all for just $10/adult of $5/kid. Families were treated to a model plane display, visiting with pilots and viewing personal aircraft, a few of which were hand built by the pilots. For many, the highlight of the event included the flights around Houghton and Higgins Lake. For a $25 donation, pilots were running 2 continuous planes loading 2-3 people at a time for a view above our beautiful lake community.
