Photo of the Day
Picture of the Day: V-Tail visit to Wings of Honor Museum
Andrew Hesketh submitted this photo and note: “I flew to Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, from St. Louis, Missouri, to visit the Wings of Honor Museum located on the field at Walnut Ridge Airport (KARG). Also had a nice $100 lunch at Don’s Steakhouse, a short ride away in the FBO’s crew car. Great day for summer flying.”
Picture of the Day: A mind-bending message
Albert Dyer submitted this photo and note: “I decided to have an evening dinner at an airport that has a restaurant. At about five miles away I flew past this message. A bit of foreshadowing or mind-bending? Of course, I had to check the dessert menu because the message became like the jingle that once heard you can’t seem to push it out of your mind!”
Picture of the Day: Over the moon
William Vergonet submitted this photo and note: “This grandfather was over the moon to take his granddaughter flying. I was lucky enough to capture the moment when they returned. They both couldn’t have had bigger smiles! When I presented the grandfather with these pictures he teared up and said, ‘Now these are moving, thank you so much!’ I could not have been happier as the mechanic of this aircraft and the photographer.”
Picture of the Day: Fall Colorado mountain flying
Shahn Sederberg submitted this photo and note: “Fall is one of the best times of the year to experience mountain flying in Colorado. This photo depicts Brian Beatty flying his 2022 AirVenture Bronze Lindy Award-winning kit champion RV-7 with the quaking golden Aspen trees beneath. In the passenger seat is Colorado Division of Aeronautics Aviation Education & Outreach Specialist Hetty Carlson.”
Picture of the Day: A serendipitous landing
Geoff Nicholson submitted this photo and note: “While performing acceptance flight testing of our newest SeaRey LSA, our test pilot Dan Nickens decided to take a break in this Florida lake. The scene turned out to be so amazing that he memorialized it with this photo.”
Picture of the Day: Heading towards the sunset
Raymond and Meri Walker submitted this photo and note: “We had just left Stumpy’s Grille on Lake Granbury in Texas in our SeaRey Elite when a friend took this picture of us heading out. The sunset was beautiful.”
Picture of the Day: First airplane after 35 years of flying…
Scott Ashton submitted this photo and note: “After being a pilot for 35 years, I finally bought my first airplane, a Mooney 201.
