Picture of the Day: In the air, finally

By General Aviation News Staff · March 17, 2022 ·

James Wiebe submitted this photo and note: “This Belite Aircraft Chipper 2 was built three years ago but was never flown late 2021. The Belite Aircraft factory fire, life, and so forth got in the way. But I’m flying it now. This photo was shot with an Insta360 X2 on a 10′ boom mounted to the lift strut over McMaster Gliderport (29KS) in Kansas, which the base of my airplane activities.”
