Picture of the Day: Socially distanced fun

By General Aviation News Staff · April 16, 2020 ·

Eric Dumigan submitted this photo and note: “Keeping the passion alive. As an aviation photographer I’m always looking for new subjects to shoot. With the COVID-19 virus curtailing a lot of activities, life has become very mundane. I heard a pilot friend, Luis De Menezes, was going flying in his C-172 at Waterloo, Ontario, but was not sure where to fly as all airport restaurants are closed in Ontario. We soon devised a plan: Let’s do a fly-by photo shoot. Living in the country, near the Lucan Airport, with a single grass runway, I had Luis fly over for a few missed approaches. Luis had some fun flying, I got to shoot a few frames of an aircraft, and we did not get within 100′ of each other. For a little while the world seemed normal again.”
