Photo of the Day

Kent Shoemaker submitted this photo and note: “Probably a picture that all pilots have taken. Getting the plane ready for an evening flight.”

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.”

Ashley Wade submitted this photo and note: “5:40 a.m., Eloy, Arizona, Kellie the Cub, a 1946 J-3 Cub, preparing to depart for her annual. I’m taking the picture while walking up to chock and hand prop her for the short hop to the A&P.”

Dave Tanner submitted this photo and note: “We have a regular Friday morning group that flies for breakfast. Auburn Municipal Airport (KAUN) in California is one of our regular favorite trips. Always a great breakfast. This is my 1966 Piper Cherokee 180.”

Anh Tran submitted this photo and note: “A morning flight over a specially designed harbor with moorings for pleasure craft and small boats in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.”

Carlos Valle submitted this photo and note: “A Boeing A75N1 Stearman from Planeadores de Vitacura Air Club performs a low pass over Runway 22 during Open Day at Chicureo Aerodrome in Chile.”

Mike Davenport submitted this photo and note: “Master restorer and mechanic Werner Griesbeck completing a run-up after finishing the annual on this 1938 Cub. Based in Langley BC, this 1938 J-3 has been in the same family since 1965.”

Dean Carrell submitted this photo and note: “My 1982 Arctic Tern in the winter. The Terns were made in Alaska from 1975 to 1985 with only 30 built. They are a souped-up version of the Interstate, made to compete with Super Cubs. About a dozen are still flying. Mine has been in Wyoming its entire life.”
