Picture of the Day: Traveling rainbow

By General Aviation News Staff · February 21, 2023 ·

Katie Detrick submitted this photo and note: “On an IFR flight in my DA40 from Venice to Naples, Florida, we flew past some isolated showers that were catching the light just perfectly to create a rainbow. As we flew past, the rain followed us, and we had a rainbow off our wing for a few minutes.”

    What a breathtaking photo, Katie! The beauty of nature never fails to amaze me. The way the isolated showers catch the light and create a vibrant rainbow is truly a sight to behold. It’s fascinating how the rain followed your flight, allowing you to enjoy the rainbow off your wing for a few precious minutes. Thank you for sharing this incredible moment with us. Your photo deserves to be featured as Picture of the Day, and it would be a delight to see it in the print issue of General Aviation News. Keep capturing these remarkable moments in the sky!
