Breakfast Fly & Dine
BFC Breakfast Fly & Dine
Weather permitting ever Saturday and Sunday Morning members of the flying club gather in the Terminal building to choose a destination for breakfast. This is a list of some of the restaurants we have flown to. To be chosen as a fly & dine destination the dinning establishment must at an airport or quickly accessible from an airport within easy flying distance from Buttonville by the average general aviation plane.

| CYFD | Brantford |
The Sky Way café a great source of nourishment for the soul and the stomach, right in the flying club! |

Open Thursday to Sunday 8 - 2 PM (winter hours) and Tuesday to Sunday 8 - 3 PM (spring, summer and fall) beginning May 1. |
