Photo of the Day
Picture of the Day: Sunset on a perfect day of flying
Melinda Payson submitted this photo and note: “295 is the ADK Flyers’ plane in Saratoga, N.Y. We had just returned from a day flying over the Adirondack Mountains and as we put her to bed, this beautiful display developed to top off the day.”
Picture of the Day: Launching the plane
Terry Hayes submitted this photo and note: “Launching the 180 floatplane after the flooding in Montana this spring. Plenty of water now!”
Picture of the Day: Bet you didn’t see this at Oshkosh
Ted Luebbers submitted this photo and note: “I bet you did not see one of these at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022. It’s a sailplane glider that John Domenjoz designed in the 1930s that’s on display at the Owls Head Transportation Museum in Maine. He claims to have flown it at least 10 times. The boat-type sail would keep him aloft and provide the necessary drive for takeoff.”
Picture of the Day: Lightning strike
Jon Bakke submitted this photo and note: “Everyone knows Beech builds a tough aircraft, but few know the Beech 99’s ability to repel lightning. Photo taken at Bemidji Regional Airport (KBJI), Minnesota.
Picture of the Day: Optical illusion
David Newill submitted this photo and note: “While looking at this photo of my son, Matt, and grandson Billy during a visit to Centennial Airport in Denver I noticed a strange unidentifiable airplane! Might those be RR AE3007s strapped to that twin Cessna’s tail? Ha!”
Picture of the Day: KOSH Tower
Nigel Cleave submitted this photo and note: “The fabulous controllers in the KOSH tower, safely directing arrivals and departures during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022. I flew from Germany in my Diamond Twin DA62 to visit Oshkosh 2022. It is so well organized. USA doing what it does best!”
Picture of the Day: WomenVenture 2022
For the last 15 years, women have come together at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh for WomenVenture, which gives women in aviation a place to network at the annual show. One of the highlights each year is the annual group photo. In 2022, more than 1,000 women gathered in Boeing Plaza for the group photo, according to officials with Women in Aviation. The backdrop for the group photo was the Boeing 777-200ER ecodemonstrator. (Photo by Christopher Miller)
