Photo of the Day

Stephan Hattingh submitted this photo and note: “A Zenith CH750 in Koppieskraalpan in South Africa, adjacent to the more famous Hakskeenpan where land speed records are attempted.”

Robert Devries submitted this photo and note: “This Ryan STM was a trainer in Java in 1940. Rescued from the jungle in the 1970, it is based at San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (KSBP) in California.”

Lawrence Necheles submitted this photo and note: “The Falcon pictured landed with mechanical failure at Pontiac Municipal Airport (KPNT) in Illinois. The Falcon tri-jet sat on our ramp for a few weeks until someone retrieved it. We speculated and guessed when someone was going to get it. There was talk of a betting pool. As the lone weekend fuel service attendant, I brought my dog, Judy, to the airport and tied her up to take a funny picture.”

Cheryl Goodwin sent in this photo with a note: “Martin Mars water bomber pilot Peter Killin walks the wing of the mighty airplane prior to a high speed taxi test on Sprout Lake, BC. We had the pleasure of spending time with Peter and experiencing the thrill of stepping the airplane up while still keeping her touching water. An outstanding life experience and then some!”

John Schmidt submitted this photo and note: “Ken Asbe of Mason City, Iowa, taxied up to his hangar at sundown after a flight to capture this image of his RV6 on the hangar door.”
