More than 400 enjoy fly-in, drive-in pancakes at Quentin Aanenson Field Saturday

Luverne hosted its annual fly-in (and drive-in) pancake breakfast Saturday morning at Quentin Aanenson Field where a record 424 people enjoyed classic planes and automobiles, inflatables for kids and a few jumps by Skydive Adventures, which has its home base at the Luverne airport.
Wind shear canceled the Young Eagles airplane rides for kids, but organizer Jim Juhl took names and will arrange for kids to get their rides when conditions allow. According to City Administrator John Call and airport volunteers, 424 had pancakes this year (up from the 2019 record of 413). There were 58 classic cars and 10 participating planes on display.
