MONROE - Chapter 431 of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) at Brodhead Airport will host the annual Community Pancake Breakfast from 7 a.m. to noon May 22 at the airport.

University of Wisconsin Hospital's MedFlight helicopter will be on display, arriving at 8:30 a.m., weather and duty requirements permitting. Also, the Green County Veterans Memorial Park group will display its newly acquired Vietnam-era UH-1M "Huey" helicopter. Young Eagle rides will be available to kids ages 8-17, weather permitting, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The community is invited to experience "Grassroots Aviation" and enjoy breakfast served by Chapter 431 volunteers. Tickets are $6 for adults and $4 for kids under 10. The airport is located 1 mile south of Brodhead at N2443 Airport Road.
