Photo of the Day

Will Vergonet submitted this photo and note: “Pratt & Whitney R985 engine as seen from below during an annual inspection.”

Christian Sanchez submitted this photo and note: “A few months ago, I introduced my dog to flying, and ever since, she’s been hooked. Now, whenever I roll out the C-150, she runs straight to the plane and settles underneath it with the biggest smile. On this day, I happened to have my phone with me and finally captured what has become her little ritual — pure joy every time she sees the airplane.”

Wai Kuen Leung submitted this photo and note: “During my short instructor life I met some amazing peeps.”

Rick Champagne submitted this photo and note: “Here’s a picture of my 6-year-old grandson looking out the window in wonder on his first flight in my C-170A. It was his first ride in a small plane. He absolutely loved it. My dad was a commercial pilot, my son (who was also on this flight) got his license a while back, and now we hope to pass our love of aviation on to the youngest. It was a nice late afternoon flight close to sundown, from a grass strip, low and slow over the area and then back. It was a huge moment for me, in many ways. Once we landed I couldn’t think of any better way to end the day.”

Glenn Brasch, the force behind AirportCourtesyCars.com and a frequent contributor of photographs to General Aviation News, sent in this photo with a note: “A Super Cub owned by Robert Amburgey sits under a 66% moon at Ryan Field (2MT1) in Montana.”
