Aviation enthusiasts invited to learn more about Arrowhead Eagles

For more than a decade, a loose-knit group of pilots and community members has hosted a fly-in pancake breakfast at the Cook County Airport, as a way to get the community interested in aviation.

Participants wanted to do more and the group is now an official organization, the Arrowhead Eagles, which is working to promote all things aviation.

The Arrowhead Eagles work to encourage the public to partake in aviation in a variety of ways, by promoting flight training and careers in the aviation industry; by providing charitable gift support for aviation related scholarships; by preserving the history of aviation in the county and by conducting activities like the fly-in pancake breakfast.

To do that, the Arrowhead Eagles has obtained nonprofit status. They will be explaining what that means to members – and anyone interested in aviation –at an annual meeting and winter gathering on Saturday, March 2 at 5 p.m. at Raven Rock Grille at Skyport Lodge in Grand Marais.
