The American Airpower Museum (AAM) will hold its annual Winter Hangar Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, December 11, 2022, from 9:30 until 11:30 a.m. Come and participate in a fun community event for the entire family. Hangar 3 will be decked out with Christmas decorations plus they’ll be photo ops with Santa and Mrs. Claus all day, so bring your cameras! Parents and children will enjoy hot pancakes with butter, maple syrup, sausages and beverages. The AAM Holiday Tram will also take adults and children for rides around the Hangar’s ramp, weather permitting.
Breakfast with Santa takes place in AAM’s historic Hangar 3, once part of Republic Aviation. After breakfast, your family can discover the history of military aviation and explore dozens of exhibits including five of America’s most famous WWII fighting aircraft, the North American B-25 Mitchell Bomber and P-51 Mustang, the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk (Flying Tiger), Grumman’s TBM Avenger Torpedo Bomber and the Douglas C-47B Skytrain, plus Cold War era jets by Republic Aviation like the F-105 Thunderchief and A-10 Thunderbolt or Warthog, also known as the “Tank Buster!” Join our breakfast fundraiser and support the Museum’s mission to preserve American military aviation history!
