Picture of the Day: Happy Simon

By General Aviation News Staff · November 14, 2021 ·

David Nuss submitted this photo and note: “Simon Scott and Pappy (David Nuss) flying Pappy’s 1946 BC-12D1 Taylorcraft. The Oldstown Flying Tails (81OH) runway was a little wet for takeoff, so Simon was being delayed while the runway dried. Every so often Simon would test how wet the runway was by rubbing his hand on the grass and report the results to Pappy. It was hilarious. Looks like Simon and Pappy are having a good time.”

    Hi David & Simon – looking good in your award-winning Taylorcraft! (Nice hat.)
    Hope to see you flying gliders with me at Marfa, Texas, next spring for our “Spring Fling” soaring event.
