Picture of the day: The secret to staying young

By General Aviation News Staff · November 12, 2017 ·

Lee Beery sent in this photo of him flying upside down in his Corby Starlet.

He says: “I think this is an interesting photo of a very old man, 86, having fun flying his Corby Starlet over Clear Lake in California. You will find him out over the lake having fun several times a week. That is the secret of staying young.”
