Picture of the Day: A lovely day for gliding
Mats Fehrm of the Landskrona Flying Club in Sweden submitted this photo and note: “Another lovely day for gliding. The tow plane is our 180-hp Super Cub from 1959. The place is the southwest coast of Sweden. In the mirror you can see the glider and the Isle Ven between Sweden and Denmark. And in the background the Danish east coast.”
Picture of the Day: Chasing summer
Benjamin Redman submitted this photo and note: “A rare 7DC Champ on PK1500 Floats at season’s end.”
Picture of the Day: Future aviatrix
Nathan Mackey submitted this photo and note: “My daughter is 3 years old and loves airplanes. We took her to a local fly-in at York, S.C, and she was able to sit in a Piper Cub. While she was a little unsure at first, she loved it, and asks to go to the airport all the time. She might end up loving airplanes as much as her dad.”
Picture of the Day: After the storm
Robert Coverdill submitted this photo and note: “A frontal system passed through central Illinois last night and I flew towards the back side of it on a short flight. While getting ready to put the plane away I noticed the beautiful scene of storm clouds being splashed by the setting sun, and the reflection of the plane in the water puddle. It seemed photo worthy! This is a 1968 Cherokee Arrow.”
Picture of the Day: A rustic FBO
Ted Luebbers sent in this photo with a note: “Rustic FBO at the Greenville Municipal Airport (3B1) in Maine. They do have a courtesy car here.”
Picture of the Day: Sunrise flight
Dana Vanderark submitted this photo and note: “A great day for flying at Fallon Municipal Airport in Nevada. Lots of student pilots and seasoned pilots showed up to fly while there was a break in the smoke.”
Picture of the Day: Instructing from the back seat
Richard Wyeroski submitted this photo and note: “Flight training from the back seat of a 1947 Aeronca 7AC. This is what the instructor sees from the back seat teaching a new student in his new airplane. It’s tough to see any instruments and you cannot see too well on takeoff and landing. That’s how one sets power by ear and judges altitude by eye.”
