Photo of the Day
Picture of the Day: Frosty morning before the flight
Andrey Beketov submitted this photo and note: “Clear frosty morning before a training flight in this Cessna 172. The strip is rolled snow in the central region of Russian. The air is cold and dense, ideal conditions for training.”
Picture of the Day: Over the top at night
David Schall submitted this photo and note: “A snapshot of just one of the performances in the spectacular night airshows at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022.”
Picture of the Day: Serenity in a 150
David Dickins submitted this photo and note: “I couldn’t resist the magical light over the water with the sea and sky merging in the late afternoon returning to Monterey Regional Airport (KMRY) along the coast of California. Our Cessna 150E ‘Lulu’ makes you feel like time is standing still on days like this.”
Picture of the Day: Hencho 01 ready for takeoff
German Torres submitted this photo and note: “My airplane is ready to make its first flight. Similar to a Coyote 6, it is named Hencho 01. It was built by Hector Evans. We are in San Antonio de Areco, near Buenos Aires, Argentina.”
Picture of the Day: Departing Ryan Field
Gary Lanthrum submitted this photo and note: “This Skywagon was part of the maintenance crew that flew in to work on Ryan Field (2MT1) in Montana. This is rugged and unforgiving country, so arrivals and departures from the field require attention to density altitude and weight and balance. No planes or personnel were injured in this photo shoot!”
Picture of the Day: Icons over Tampa Bay
Joe Parker submitted this photo and note: “A nice way to end your training at Peter O’Knight Airport (KTPF) in Tampa Bay, Florida. My photo from an Icon A5 of my wife Emilia in another Icon A5.”
Picture of the Day: Fill ‘er up
Hal Roberts submitted this photo and note: “In June 2022 I flew with Kevin D’Angelo in his Shark SeaRey from his home airport in Hamburg, N.Y. The plan was to meet up with several other SeaReys and float planes for some $100 seafood at Galene’s on Conesus Lake in New York’s Finger Lakes. We hadn’t been 10 minutes in the air when Kevin said he was going to get some gas. We dove (literally) down to land on this postage stamp piece of grass behind a Kwik Fill gas station in Strykersville and proceeded to join the cars and fill ‘er up. You can only imagine the stares from the non-flying vehicles.”
Picture of the Day: Piper family picnic
Jason Leavitt submitted this photo and note: “My wife, Janet, and I own a 1965 Piper Cherokee 180 (blue and white) and my parents, Jim and Betsy Leavitt, own a 1972 Piper Cherokee 180. One beautiful day in the summer of 2022 we met up at Dean Memorial Airport (5B9) in Haverhill, New Hampshire, to have a picnic lunch. My father has been in aviation my entire life and in 2008 he took on the additional role of my flight instructor. Now since we live in different states, we have found this is a fun way to meet up, visit, and see new sites. As we were both preparing to depart to return to our respective home bases, my wife took this picture of the two planes sitting together.”
