Picture of the Day: A new perspective

By General Aviation News Staff · May 9, 2018 ·

Jake Longhurst sent in this photo for Picture of the Day, with this note: “Flight training is one of the most rewarding things one will do in their lifetime. Becoming pilots puts a new perspective on life and how to live it. We learn how to multitask without omitting important things. We learn to pay closer attention to detail. We learn to enjoy the small moments, like soaring through the air watching a sunset. We learn to look ahead and plan for the future. All these things make us who we are as pilots, and improve our lives as people.”

All photos sent in for Picture of the Day are also considered for our new Page 4 photo feature in the print issue of General Aviation News, as well as A Year in Pictures in the December issues.
