How to Attract Pilots

0

Cool airplanes and the chance to fly are great – but if you really want to attract a crowd of pilots, just bring free donuts! Monday morning at the Richard VanGrunsven Pavillion in Homebuilt Camping features donuts provided by the volunteer staff (out of their own pockets), and we rarely see such a volume of pilots in one place. So as you’re grabbing a cup of coffee, buying a bag of ice, or just enjoying a place to sit and charge your phone, don’t forget to thank the folks in the red shirts for not only their time – but their donuts!
