Pancake Breakfast / Aircraft / Car Show / Airplane Rides / Ice Cream
2026-05-17 09:00 - 12:00
For the fifth consecutive year, LVMOC has had the good fortune to be invited by Chapter 839 of the Eastern Experimental Aircraft Association, on Sunday, May 17, 2026, to a pancake breakfast ($8 contribution per person), an aircraft fly-in and a car show (LVMOC member cars and classic British cars, on this occasion) at the Pegasus Airpark, near Brodheadsville, PA. EAA Chapter 839 will have their aircraft on display and many will be taking off and landing on the airfield during the event.
The Keystone British Car Club has been invited to participate on the same date, May 17, so we will have the opportunity to “rub elbows” with the owners of many of the British cars that we “cut our teeth on” in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Last year this club displayed some very interesting British cars!
After this event, LVMOC will escort the Miatas (and Brits, if they wish) to a lunch / ice cream rendezvous.
The LVMOC participants should plan to arrive at Pegasus Airpark by 9:00 a.m. on May 17. There is no organized group drive from the Lehigh Valley to the Airpark.
