Picture of the Day: Happy Simon
David Nuss submitted this photo and note: “Simon Scott and Pappy (David Nuss) flying Pappy’s 1946 BC-12D1 Taylorcraft. The Oldstown Flying Tails (81OH) runway was a little wet for takeoff, so Simon was being delayed while the runway dried. Every so often Simon would test how wet the runway was by rubbing his hand on the grass and report the results to Pappy. It was hilarious. Looks like Simon and Pappy are having a good time.”

Picture of the Day: Hannah’s first flight
Nathan Mackey submitted this photo and note: “I have been in love with aviation since I was 4 years old. This Saturday I got to ride along with my daughter, Hannah, who just turned 4 last month, on her first airplane ride. It was a very special flight as it was in Helio Courier s/n 001, N242B, made in 1954. I flew in this airplane from 1998-2004 as a volunteer with JAARS to various airshows, including Oshkosh. N242B’s owner flew from Texas to JAARS in North Carolina to attend a private fly-in and to give Hannah her first airplane ride. Hannah’s comment when we rose above the trees was, “Wow! I can see EVERYTHING!” Here’s to many more years of flying for Hannah.”
