Photo of the Day
Picture of the Day: Caribbean flying
Larry Levin submitted this photo and note: “A friend took this photo of my TB 20 Trinidad as we were flying from Long Island, Bahamas, to Crooked Island.”
Picture of the Day: Vegas sunrise
Andrew Venuto submitted this photo and note: “This was during my preflight on the flight line. I couldn’t resist this beautiful picture next to my Piper Cherokee.”
Picture of the Day: Morning sunshine
Tim Walmsley submitted this photo and note: “Recently when flying down to Busselton, Washington, in my Eagle 150B for an airport open day I was greeted with a beautiful view of the sun peeking through the clouds.”
Picture of the Day: Ferry flight
Christian Sanchez submitted this photo and note: “There is something unforgettable about ferrying an aircraft for the first time, and flying it across five states to deliver it to its final destination. The journey offered spectacular views — vast stretches of snow-covered fields, shimmering frozen lakes, and quiet skies. By the time I landed, I had more than a successful delivery under my belt. I had lessons that only experience can teach, a stronger respect for winter flying, and a deeper sense of confidence.”
Picture of the Day: Flowers, a Cub and a mountain
Mary Ann Lebold submitted this photo and note: “On Saturday, May 10, 2025, Sonia Bynum took this photo of a pot of te confetti petunias on Tammy and Ryan Weir’s deck as the 2025 Cawley South Prairie Fly In was just getting started. Dale Weir’s J-3 Cub snuck into the frame. And Mt. Rainier was watching over it all.”
Picture of the Day: Indian Mounds
Jeff Wolf submitted this photo and note: “I love history! This is a picture of Talahina Airport (6F1) in Southeast Oklahoma, nestled in the valley between the Jackfork and Kiamichi Mountains. My wife Nikki took this picture while we were flying over the airport. The sun was setting and it cast the shadows just right to be able to see what we know as Indian Mounds. I have flown into this airport many times and never noticed that the Talahina strip was built right on top of an old Indian encampment. The Mounds appear to be on both sides of the runway. It is intriguing to know that for every mound you see, there lived a family. By the way, Nikki and I were flying in our Cessna 172F.”
Picture of the Day: Soaring above the Potomac
Diana Layton submitted this photo and note: “The view from a Civil Air Patrol glider, soaring over the Potomac River prior to landing at Grant County Airport (W99) in Petersburg, West Virginia.”
Picture of the Day: Why is that pilot holding a lion?
David Newill submitted this photo and note: “Valerie Newill, 10, wants to know why Indiana Aviation Hall of Fame Legacy Member Roscoe Turner is holding his pet lion, Gilmore, in his plane. The newly completed ‘Hoosiers in Flight’ display at Indianapolis International Airport recognizes and honors more than 40 INAHOF members, Indiana natives and long-term residents, who have made an enduring contribution to aviation or aerospace in Indiana, the nation, or the world through achievement, leadership, exceptional service, innovation, or entrepreneurial spirit”.
