Photo of the Day
Picture of the Day: Curtiss on cue
Susan Loricchio submitted this photo and note: “Looks like a great day to be up with the clouds. Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in New York is a flying museum, where you step back in time and experience the sights, sounds, and smell of the rare birds. Young and old come to volunteer in various capacities from acting to working on the aircraft.”

Picture of the Day: Cessna plans
Gary Westlind submitted this photo and note: “In Anchorage this spring and found this drawing of a Cessna Model 120 and 140 that I wanted to share with anyone who has time in this magnificent flying machine, especially after reading Jamie Beckett’s Politics for Pilots column, “At least 12% of this story is true.”
Picture of the Day: Waiting out the rain
Shawn Shay submitted this photo and note: “Ran into some bad weather and decided to wait it out at The O’Neill Municipal Airport-John L Baker Field (KONL) in Nebraska. Ended up spending the night. Great place to be stuck: Cable TV, five courtesy cars, and a downtown close by for dinner and essentials.”

Picture of the Day: My new co-pilot
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.”
Picture of the Day: Flight lessons
Wai Kuen Leung submitted this photo and note: “During my short instructor life I met some amazing peeps.”
