Michael Kilcher submitted this photo and note: “A number of fellow pilots and I rendezvoused at the Sport Island Pub on the Great Sacandaga Lake in upstate New York. We dropped in for lunch at this lakeside restaurant. This was my first time landing on the ice in my wheeled Cessna 172. Along with my 172 are a pair of PA-12 Super Cruisers and a pair of Cubs, all on skis. Not pictured, but part of our group that day, are a Cessna 185 on retractable wheel-skis and a Bell 206B.”

“Both of the country’s premiere military flight teams on the same ramp at the Kansas City Airshow in July 2021. The Blue Angels were the scheduled headliners, but the week of the airshow, the Thunderbirds asked to also fly at the show. What a treat it was for all of us attending to see both of these teams at the same venue!”
