Picture of the Day: Thunderbird Celebrates the Cessna 150

Picture of the Day: Smoky Halo
Sam Winslow submitted this photo and note: “I took this photo in September 2026 after flying up to Santa Rosa-Sonoma County Airport (KSTS) in California for the day. There was a touch of haze in the air from nearby wildfires and perhaps some ice in the high clouds. I saw a halo from the sun framed behind the control tower. This photo is unedited — it really looked like that.”
Picture of the Day: Wisconsin’s Largest Weathervane
Sparky Barnes submitted this photo and note: “Though its flying days have gone by, this Cessna 150 is still aloft by the shore of Cedar Lake in Wisconsin, at Meister’s Grill and Bar. There’s a seaplane base at Cedar Lake (WI35), so folks can arrive by plane, boat, or car to enjoy great food! (Note: The seaplane base is “Private use. Permission required prior to landing.”)
