Picture of the Day: Hope for Heights
Wayne Keegstra submitted this photo and note: “Before COVID, a group of neighborhood churches combined efforts and organized a 10-week program to reach out to the area kids. It offered a variety of activities, one being a “build it“ class. This particular class built rockets. One of the high lights was to do a tour of West Michigan Regional Airport (KBIV) in Holland Michigan. The kids really enjoyed the tour!”
Picture of the Day: The ground really gets around
John Carroll submitted this photo and note: “I was out doing some aerobatics while my friend took pictures. This is a 100-hp Sonex, normally aspirated and without inverted fuel and oil. An aircraft engine will never know which way gravity is pulling when the pilot keeps a positive g-load while maneuvering.”
