Photo of the Day

Steve Davis submitted this photo and note: “My beautiful CH750 STOL after landing in the sage. The Thunderbolt IO233 sheared a piston rod, which destroyed the engine…after 285 hrs. No damage to the 750 after the dead stick landing, but got a few minor scratches after trailering it out of the desert. Seven more flight minutes and we would have been over the tall Oregon fir and pines, and the outcome would have been different. Tough little plane!
