Photo of the Day

Mary Ann Lebold submitted this photo and note: “Dale Weir and granddaughter Abbie Weir settle into Dale’s J-3 Cub for a flight review. Who do you think is the CFI and who is being reviewed? It’s not what you probably think. Abbie is the CFI and Dale is being reviewed! At the end of the day, CFI Abbie signed her grandpa’s log book.”

Brad McColl submitted this photo and note: “For almost a decade, I flew this aircraft across the U.S., parts of Canada, and the Caribbean. We had our moments, but through most of it, she was my best friend and co-explorer. Through snowstorms, heavy rain, and around some monster thunderstorms, she demonstrated her well-designed lineage. Two hundred overcast fog and rain were often our destination, but the rabbit was always there, right where it was supposed to be, and she made sure that my passengers and I were too. That part of my life is over now, but when I die, I will think of her and smile.”

Rusty Eichorn submitted this photo and note: “I could look at this photo all day long. Dave Clark’s immaculate 1971 Cessna 180H on EDO 2960 floats and my 1975 Super Cub 160 on Aerocet 2200s at our dock on a summer afternoon at Fog Lake in northwest Ontario, our summer base for fishing adventures.”

Dave Cohen submitted this photo and note: “A flying bucket list item has been completed: I flew into The Airport In The Sky at Catalina Island in California in a Piper Archer. A beautiful trip with a fantastic bison burger for lunch.”

Tom Sharpe submitted this photo and note: “My RV-8A sitting on the ramp at Rockingham County NC Shiloh Airport (KSIF) in Reidsville, North Carolina. KSIF recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. I was one of — if not the first — CFI to instruct there 50 years ago. Fond memories.”

John Sidle submitted this photo and note: “Flying my Cessna 172S over a bison ranch in the South Dakota Sandhills.”

Les Smith submitted this photo and note: “Friends of Frederick Municipal Airport in Maryland entered this portrayal of KFDK in an event called Sailing Through The Winter Solstice. It begins in November, when a number of boats, transformed through the creative minds of many Frederick friends, set sail on Carroll Creek. The fleet is 26 boats that are decorated in a variety of themes and lit up from dusk till dawn. It’s not just fun, it’s for a purpose. By voting for your favorite boat, organizations are raising awareness and money for causes local to the Frederick community. All proceeds raised during go to each boat’s designated charity and Color On The Creek. The event runs from mid-November through the second Saturday in March, but voting continues.”

Rick Champagne submitted this photo and note: “During a stop in Farmville, Virginia, for fuel, I wanted to take a picture of my Cessna 170A. I did not notice at the time that many other things lined up perfectly on that nice sunny day. The RH tire, the prop, and the light and camera that appear to be mounted to the top of the aircraft.”

Levi Lindsay submitted this photo and note: “This Piper Cherokee piloted by a member of EAA Chapter 240 at New Garden Airport (N57) in Toughkenamon, Pennsylvania, lands after a morning flight to grab breakfast.”
