LAKEVILLE, Minn. – Thousands of hungry plane enthusiasts took their breakfast plans to Lakeville's Airlake Airport Sunday, in hopes of getting a close-up look at history.

The event, which this year kicks off the city's annual Pan-O-Prog celebration, serves as a benefit to the Lakeville Lions Club. In its 11th year, this year's fly-in commemorated its first year in a new hangar on the airport's south side. With the new space came the chance to feed even more people.

"You can't find it in a book how to serve 2,500 people remotely in an airport hangar," said Paul Jacobus of Lakeville Lions. "It's over 3,800 sausage links. Four hundred pounds of pancake mix. Four hundred pounds of liquid eggs, and dozens and dozens and dozens of donuts."
