Roger Struthers submitted this photo and note: “After helping with the preflight, one of my wife’s cats, Gomer, is waiting for the command to mount up. This photo was taken April 6, 2021, the first flight for the year. The flight was a little bumpy, but it always feels good to get that first flight under your belt. This is my Kolb Firestar that I have been flying for almost 20 years.”
