A fresh season of fresh coffee breaks

2026 Schedule is published!
This summer we will have a variety of vendors to supply your morning caffeine fix.
Vagabond Coffee PNW will be returning for some of the summer dates.
Mobile Mermaid Espresso will fill in for August
will show up with the foods some months

Come join us for a couple of hours on sunday mornings!

Join us for your morning caffeine fix at Pilots Pastures! Come and go as you please — whether you’re enroute to another fly-in or just looking for a good excuse to get some flight time!
Stop by for a great americano, latte, tea, tea latte, or mocha. Pilots dropping in for a quick coffee before continuing to their destination or another event are always welcome!
If you want to stay and socialize, feel free to bring a folding chair and hang out with friends — old and new.

This month we have a guest speaker representing a startup kitplane company. He has quite the aviation resume, promises to be an interesting talk!

Chris "Duff" Guarente is a test pilot who has flown the First Flights of both the Scaled Model 400 and Stratolaunch aircraft. He was a previous Air Force Test pilot and Director of Operations flying both the F-22 and F-16 where he was the first pilot to launch a guided AIM-9X off of the F-22. He has worked as the lead test pilot on the development of both the XB-1 Supersonic demonstrator at Boom Supersonic and the new Seaglider aircraft at Regent where he executed the first engine runs and sea trials. He continues to be a test pilot for several companies as a contractor and has founded a new kitplane company Intrepid Aircraft in the Denver area. He will be presenting on being a test pilot and past experiences as well as discuss some of his current projects.
