Paul Tomascik submitted this photo and note: “Rockcliffe, Ottawa, Canada, C172; early morning training flight with my student, Abhi, who is flying. I snapped the photo when I looked down after he lifted off the runway and saw this image appear and follow us.”

Based on the shadow being close to the perpendicular of the a/c above the runway, I think that describing this as an “early morning” flight is not true unless about !0 AM is ‘early’
