Photo of the Day

Matt Hofeldt submitted this photo and note: “My son, Jet, 4, riding in a Cub for the first time as we fly over rural Wisconsin.”

John Johnson submitted this photo and note: “A Skybolt at sunset at Brooks Field (KRMY) in Marshall, Michigan. My dad, Gust G. Johnson, built the airplane. He soloed at 14 years old and flew until he was 84. He passed four years later at 88. A World War II Air Force veteran, he also owned a 1947 Globe Swift for 40 years.”

Bob Showalter submitted these photos and a note: “Dove 31 is a Citation X passing Dove 26, a Citation XL. We were both flying the arrival for the Special Olympics airlift into KORL on June 12, 2022. Dove 31 was at FL410, Dove 26 at 40,000 feet. Yes a Citation X is a lot faster than a Citation XL. We all had a wonderful time moving these special athletes and coaches back and forth to the games!”

Larry LeRoy submitted this photo and note: “My 1968 Cessna 180 on Edo floats on Lobster Lake in Maine. I landed on the lake to check up on a couple of canoes that were waving what I thought was a distress signal. Ended up they were friends who recognized my plane and just wanted to say hi. This was a picture they later sent to me.”

Michelee Cabot submitted this photo and note: The best Mamabird made, my 1985 P-210R. Touched down in every state in the lower 48 and many airports in the Bahamas, Central America, and Canada. The superb wings of one who became a Flying Octogenarian.”

David Berman submitted this photo and note: “Pilot David Berman landing his Citation 3 over the beach in St Maarten.”

Gary Bipes submitted this photo and note: “Test flying my Sky Raider with the smoke system. I use it in the pattern of an airport. It makes a slow plane stand out. I start short bursts on downwind, then on base, and while on final, do short bursts, so other planes see me. We have many aerial applicators using our airport. They say it gets their attention. I get comments from other pilots, ‘is there something wrong with the engine? It is smoking very heavy.”
