Breakfast on ice for Minnesota general aviation pilots

By Janice Wood · March 6, 2012 ·

Our friends in EAA Chapter 551 periodically send us photos of their great flying adventures. One of the latest was a Saturday morning “breakfast on ice” in -5° temperatures at Eddy’ Resort on Mille Lacs Lake in Minnesota. Some pictures follow of the ice runway and the camaraderie shared by this very active group of general aviation pilots.
