Picture of the day: The lift from your wings…

By General Aviation News Staff · October 27, 2016 ·

Randall Walls sent in this shot, with a brief explanation: “A left-seat shot with an iPhone 6 of the Parker River in Northeastern Massachusetts at dusk on Oct. 15, 2016. Photo was taken at 6,500 feet MSL in the Bald Eagle Flying Club’s 1979 Cessna 172N, N4818D, on a return trip from PVC (Provincetown, Mass.) to PWM (Portland, Maine). This picture now hangs on my wall at home with the caption: ‘Let not the night steal the lift from your wings’ embossed below it.”
