Picture of the Day: Sunrise over our Champ camp

By General Aviation News Staff · September 28, 2023 ·

Shane Vande Voort submitted this photo and note: “My 9-year-old son Meyer and I had the great opportunity to fly our 1946 Aeronca Champ from Iowa to the annual Grassroots Fly-In at Brodhead, Wisconsin, in 2023. The only thing nicer than the weather were the people and, although we planned to spend just one night, we were having so much fun Meyer wanted to spend two nights in our tent. What a great weekend with old airplanes, my son, and our friends (old and new). This picture from my morning walk will help keep the memory of a great weekend vivid.”

    This photo is really beautiful and has a great sense of artistry. The airplane is also fantastic.
