Mother's Day at Delta Airpark

With our son Douglas away camping on Vancouver Island this weekend, it was up to me to provide my wife breakfast for Mother's Day. It just so happens that Delta Airpark has a fly-in breakfast every second Sunday of the month, and today happened to be that Sunday. Not only that, but it turned out to be a gorgeous spring day that would make breakfast on the clubhouse patio an enjoyable treat. Bonnie-Rae was game so off we went.

Delta Airpark is one of a dwindling number of old style airstrips in close proximity to a large urban area. There is still a clubhouse, a very active social network, no security, and a beautiful grass strip. There is a mixture of old and new aircraft that call the airstrip home, and tie down fees are a measly $35 per month.  The ham, egg, and pancake breakfast cost $4 and tasted wonderful as we socialized and watched the flight activity from the patio. The gathering consisted of your typical group of die hard aviation enthusiasts from all walks of life. This is recreational aviation as it should be.

Happy Mother's Day from Delta Airpark.
