Harry Fenton submitted this photo and note: “Our white Champ resting at Bob Hilbert’s airstrip near Marengo, Illinois, after a day of skiplane flying. Some of the best flying of the year is during the middle of the winter with the plane on skis. Landing on frozen lakes and open fields next to farm homes are off-airport fun that can only be experienced during the winter. Despite the cold, if the sun is out, the radiant glow of the sun makes for some ‘warm’ winter days that only northern people understand.”
