Photo of the Day

Jackie Burch submitted this photo and note: “Just three days after taking ownership of my new-to-me 2015 Carbon Cub SS, I landed on a rural road in Kansas to visit friends while flying home from Chicago to California. This was only my sixth landing in the aircraft, and I hadn’t flown a tailwheel airplane solo in more than three years. Quite the thrill keeping Lil’ Red on the centerline of the narrow farm road, especially with a bunch of guys watching. Here she sits, parked in the neighboring field during my visit. With grass too long and tires too small, landing in the field wasn’t an option. The road was the ticket. Clearly, bigger tires are in Lil’ Red’s future!”

Richard Wyeroski submitted this photo and note: “As a CFI, I enjoy giving Flight Reviews. My favorite is in a Stearmen flying out of Bayport Aerodrome (23N) on Long Island in New York. The wind in your face, great visibility, and fun.”

Juan Carlos Torres submitted this photo and note: “A rainbow — arco iris in Spanish — captured at the Real Aeroclub de Vizcaya in Bilbao, Spain.”

Karyn King submitted this photo and note: “This image was taken off the wing as we started to descend to our home airport, Harvey Field (S43) coming back from a visit to Orcas Island in the Puget Sound, Washington. No filters, just an iPhone!”

Rick Tutt submitted this photo and note: “While flying our Piper Malibu at 17,000 MSL over Ashland, Oregon, Mother Nature entertained us with this display!”

Ronald Donner submitted this photo and note: “The Southern Minnesota landscape on a late afternoon framed by the wings and wires of a Hatz CB-1 biplane.”
