Picture of the Day: Flying through a postcard

By General Aviation News Staff · February 13, 2022 ·

Karissa Davan submitted this photo and note: “Departing on Runway 19L in Brunswick, Maine (KBXM) always provides an amazing sea view, but especially at sunset. This photo was taken on a departure in my Cessna 182R. The 200° view surrounds you with blinking lighthouses, lobster boats and, if your timing is just right, a stunning sunset looking toward Portland, Maine. It’s like flying through a postcard and it never gets old!”
