Chris Vogt submitted this photo and note: “A nice view of the majestic Mississippi River in late summer 2025 — the green hills of Iowa in the foreground, with Illinois stretching out to the east. I took this photo from 1,500 feet AGL while piloting a Cessna 172 on a round-trip cross-country from Marion Airport (C17) outside Cedar Rapids.”
