Picture of the Day: Starry night

By General Aviation News Staff · October 18, 2021 ·

Lincoln Benedict submitted this photo and note: “During the midst of the full pandemic lockdown in April 2020 my wife and I escaped to Ragmuff Airstrip in northern Maine with our 2005 GlaStar. It was a delight. No one around, no cell reception, and some of the clearest skies I’ve ever seen. It was getting cold, but we had plenty of warm weather gear. As we sat down to eat our meal, we basked in the starlight. I’m so grateful for this moment now, that feeling of solitude was absolute and strangely comforting.”
