Picture of the Day: Right where she belongs

By General Aviation News Staff · February 15, 2024 ·

Everett Pidgeon submitted this photo and note: “My 1946 Cessna 120 is a sweetheart. I was so lucky to find this plane. It had been completely rebuilt with a fresh O-200 on the nose, new interior, new fabric, and paint. Flies like a dream. Landing, well that’s on me to improve. That’s why the picture shows the plane on grass — where taildraggers belong. That airport belongs to the Memphis Soaring Society — 3,500 foot x 300 foot well-manicured runway. Come visit.”

    Very nice. Private airports are the best, the way of the future for most of sport aviation.
