Picture of the Day: Flying is freedom

By General Aviation News Staff · March 16, 2023 ·

Mary Wich submitted this photo and note: “When I saw this wheelchair at the tie-down, and the airplane gone, it was an almost indescribable feeling we can all relate to. Photographed on Jan. 27, 2023, at Lincoln Regional Airport (KLHM) in California.”

    That looks a lot like my friend Quincey’s wheelchair. Quincey is a CFI based at California Airways in Hayward, CA. He is an inspiration to all who yearn to fly and don’t let disabilities hold them back.
