✈️🚗 Pancakes, Planes & Chrome:
The 34th Annual Fly-In / Cruise-In Lands in Marion!
If you’re looking for a perfect blend of aviation awe, vintage horsepower, and syrup-drenched nostalgia, mark your calendar for Saturday, August 30th, 2025—because the Fly-In / Cruise-In is back at the Marion Municipal Airport (MZZ), and it’s bigger, bolder, and more delicious than ever.
🥞 Start Your Engines with Pancakes
The day kicks off bright and early at 7:00 AM with an all-you-can-eat Pancake Breakfast running until noon. Whether you’re a pilot, a gearhead, or just a breakfast enthusiast, this feast fuels the fun—and every bite supports a great cause. All proceeds go to the Grant County Rescue Mission, helping neighbors in need with meals, recovery programs, and transitional housing.
✈️ Wings of History
Expect the skies to shimmer with the arrival of antique, classic, homebuilt, ultralight, rotorcraft, and warbird aircraft. This year’s showstopper? A 1942 Curtis P-40N Kittyhawk IV, flown in by Tim Savage of Huntington, IN. Painted to honor “Skeeter,” the P-40 flown by Lt. John D. Landers of the Flying Knights, this aircraft is one of the last Kittyhawks ever built.
Also making a return flight is Adrian Eichhorn’s 1963 Beech P35 Bonanza—a plane that’s circled the globe and even flown over the North Pole. Talk about high-flying credentials.
🚗 Chrome Dreams on the Tarmac
On the ground, feast your eyes on a stunning lineup of vintage cars, trucks, motorcycles, fire trucks, autocycles, military vehicles, and tractors. From muscle cars to military rigs, it’s a rolling museum of American grit and style.
🛏️ Fly-In Friendly
Pilots are encouraged to arrive Friday afternoon or evening, it’s a weekend built for camaraderie, community, and cruising.
