Picture of the Day: Moonlit Approach Over Buzzards Bay

By General Aviation News Staff · November 13, 2026 · Leave a Comment

Ron Backnick submitted this photo and note: “Approaching the Elizabeth Islands and Woods Hole at approximately 2,000 MSL at 9 p.m. The moon reflecting off Buzzards Bay made finding my home field in Falmouth Airpark (5B6) in Massachusetts easy after a long cross country from Wisconsin. I snapped this with my iPhone while flying my 2004 Cirrus SR-22.”
