Picture of the Day: Piper family picnic

By General Aviation News Staff · January 25, 2023 ·

Jason Leavitt submitted this photo and note: “My wife, Janet, and I own a 1965 Piper Cherokee 180 (blue and white) and my parents, Jim and Betsy Leavitt, own a 1972 Piper Cherokee 180. One beautiful day in the summer of 2022 we met up at Dean Memorial Airport (5B9) in Haverhill, New Hampshire, to have a picnic lunch. My father has been in aviation my entire life and in 2008 he took on the additional role of my flight instructor. Now since we live in different states, we have found this is a fun way to meet up, visit, and see new sites. As we were both preparing to depart to return to our respective home bases, my wife took this picture of the two planes sitting together.”
