The SC Breakfast Club
Since 1938, South Carolina pilots have met for breakfast every other Sunday, each time at a different small airport around the state. The breakfast is simple and inexpensive, served around 9 a.m., and everyone is welcome, whether you fly in or drive in.
The host airport changes each time, so check the club’s schedule for the next date and location.
See the 2026 Breakfast Club scheduleDraft for review.
