Picture of the Day: My two boys
Everett Pidgeon submitted this photo and note: “My 1946 Cessna 120. New wing fabric, new interior, and a fresh O-200. Fun flying airplane for not a lot of money. My 1956 Cessna 182 “Business Liner” has a STOL kit with an MT prop. I am rotating at 45 mph. Love it. This photo was taken during the pandemic so both planes have a mask on if you look closely. The 120 has a smile on his face. We are located at 2M8 near Memphis, Tennessee, home of the King of Rock and Roll.”
