From 8 a.m. to noon this Sunday, Sept. 6 is the Canyon Pilots Association Labor Day Weekend All-You-Can-Eat Fly-In Breakfast indoors in the corporate hanger at the Grand Canyon Regional Airport in Delmar Township at 112 Runway Road, Wellsboro.
According to a news release, the breakfast is open to the public and will be held rain or shine.
As of Tuesday, Sept. 1, weather conditions forecast for Wellsboro during the morning of Sept. 6 are mostly dry and cloudy with a light breeze and a minor 15% chance of rain.
Weather permitting, pilots in various types of full-size aircraft will fly to the airport for the breakfast. If the weather cooperates, those who attend can watch them land and take off and chat with pilots about their aircraft.
Also available, weather permitting, will be airplane flights in Cessna aircraft over the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon for a fee and free rides aboard a helicopter for raffle winners, the news release said.
The Mountain Modelaires, a local group affiliated with the Academy of Model Aeronautics, will have radio controlled model airplanes and helicopters on display in a nearby hanger.
Proceeds from the fly-in breakfasts are used to fund the Association's aviation scholarship program for Tioga County residents who want to become pilots and to assist with specific projects for the airport.
