EAA Chapter 240, based out of Toughkenamon, PA is one of America's most successful EAA Chapters. With a member count of over 200, it is also one of the largest. Along with the numerous fly-outs, chapter meetings, and special airport events, EAA 240 also hosts a monthly Pancake Breakfast and Young Eagles Rally. Hundreds of pilots, aviation enthusiasts, aviation photographers, and community members gather for pancakes, and free flights for their kids.
