Picture of the day: Rusty no more

By General Aviation News Staff · March 27, 2016 ·

OK, it’s not a beautiful plane flying through a majestic sky, but maybe something just as cool: A no-longer Rusty Pilot. Mike Vidal sent in this photo, explaining: “Just got myself re-certifed having completed my biennial after 13-plus years of not flying. Thank you Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) for the Rusty Pilots seminar back in September 2015 at KFXE that started the impetus to get me back in the air again.”

Here is Mike with his instructor Ivan Rodriguez Camejo at KTMB’s Reliance Aviation.
