Picture of the Day: Chicago from a Ford TriMotor
Gary Baker submitted this photo and note: “As one of the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Ford TriMotor pilots, I was fortunate to be able to ferry the Liberty Aviation Museum 5AT-B TriMotor from a tour stop in Smyrna, Tennessee, to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023.

Picture of the Day: You never know what treasure you may find
Susan Loricchio submitted this photo and note: “On a visit to Princeton, New Jersey, I decided to take the ‘scenic route’ past Princeton Airport (39N), and a beauty caught my eye. I could not resist a close-up look of this restored 1944 Douglas DC3C-SC3G.”
Picture of the Day: Towing a glider
Robert Erenstein submitted this photo and note: “In the summer of 2023 I was in Switzerland at the Bex Airport, where a small air show had been organized. Upon arrival early in the morning I walked along the road to the entrance of the airport, which passes exactly in front of the runway. In the distance I saw this Maule MX-7 and Swift S-1 glider lined up. And because I knew this could become a beautiful picture, I stopped and waited to take this photo.”

Pictures of the Day: Snow day
Megan Vande Voort sent in this photo with a note: “After getting nearly a foot of snow in Iowa, the skis were quickly put on Shane Vande Voort’s 1999 Citabria. The last couple years there hasn’t been enough snow to enjoy ski plane flying, so Shane and sons weren’t going to let this snow day pass them by.”
