Flight Training - August 2023 - 38
The Smokehouse Pilots online
group recently held a fly-in, with live
music, food trucks, and a static display
(below). Lone Pine attendees watch a

" It's all about fun, camaraderie, a reason
to get out and keep yourself current, "
said Stoney Truett, president of the South
Carolina Breakfast Club, who flies a Rans
S-6 based at Jim Hamilton/L.B. Owens
Airport (CUB) in Columbia, South Carolina.
The SCBC, started in 1938 and one of
the longest-running groups in general aviation,
gets together about twice a month
and flies somewhere in South Carolina
" and a few surrounding states " to meet up
and have breakfast. That's it.
Well, almost. " When you come to a
breakfast club [get-together] you are a
member for life, " Truett said. " There are
no dues. " Hats are awarded to the pilots
who've flown the longest distance. A tradition
that dates to the group's inception
involves signing a ball that is brought to
each event. Once used to celebrate bouncy
landings, the ball now is signed by pilots
in taildraggers, or just whoever is deemed
worthy. " Last week we had a breakfast
club in Greenwood, South Carolina, "
Truett said recently. " It was a marginal
weather day. We didn't have anybody to
sign the ball who had flown in, but one
of the waitresses had just soloed, and she
signed the ball. "
Attendance varies, depending on the
weather or the size of the airport. Triple
Tree Aerodrome (SC00) in Woodruff,
South Carolina, is a popular yearly destination,
and once attracted 110 airplanes
to a breakfast (see " Road Trip, " p. 16). But
on average, the SCBC sees between 25 and
50 aircraft. The group posts its schedule
online (southcarolinabreakfastclub.com)
and has Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube
accounts.
Similarly, the Smokehouse Pilots Club
holds monthly fly-outs for lunch. Gabe
Muller, based at Leesburg Executive
Airport (JYO) in Virginia, is a founding
member. Many members live in the region,
but others come from all over the United
States. The monthly lunch flights give
members a chance not only to stretch their
wings and fly to a different airport, but also
to meet the people they've been chatting
with on Facebook. The largest such gathering
attracted 44 airplanes and 80 people,
Muller said. Like SCBC, Smokehouse has
a website, Facebook group, and Instagram
and YouTube accounts.
Often the camaraderie and community
become intentional. The Smokehouse
Pilots recently hosted a fly-in to Leesburg
Airport, with food trucks, an aircraft static
