Fly-ins/pancake breakfast stops in VA/NC?

[Fearless Tower]

Looking for any regular scheduled weekend pancake breakfast fly-ins or similar get togethers in the Virginia/North Carolina region?

I know about the Soup on Sunday at Campbell Field, but so far that is the only one I've found.

Any other ideas?

Not a "regularly scheduled" event in the sense of recurring monthly or whatever, but I just received this notification of an upcoming even in Salisbury, NC (KRUQ).

Also, on any pretty Saturday or Sunday, there are likely to be some pilots/planes around lunchtime at Rutherford County (KFQD) or Martinsville, VA (KMTV). Of these,KFQD is a bit more satisfactory for visiting with other pilots, as they are confined to a smaller space on the porch of the 57A Cafe.

I'm planning on flying up to RUQ from EQY...not that far of a trek, but its a reason to get out.

I might go. Look for a red and white 210 (radar pod under right wing).

Do you have your plane up and running yet?

Not yet....engine is back from the shop and getting installed.

But I do have access to some local rentals.

5nc3 on any nice saturday or sunday is a happening place. Taxi right up to the restaurant. google pik-n-pig

At KTTA we host a cook-out the 2nd saturday of every month. Usually a pretty good crowd.

Check the EAA calendar when it starts warming up in late april. There will be something to do practically every weekend

It's still in Texas.

That's a bummer but you will get to fill a few more states in when you fly it to Norfolk!!!!

I've always wanted to go there, but it's a bit of a haul for me at my current speeds / time and money constraints. They claim require permission to land...is this the case? Or do they not care?

I went to the fly-in at Rowan County today and learned that they do have an event each first Saturday of every month.

I saw THIS there:
(looks like the broken leg on the Louisville player in the game against Duke)
