Photo of the Day

Armand Vilches submitted this photo and note: “My Cessna 172D is as shiny as the day she rolled off the Wichita production line in July 1963. She was repainted with the same colors, scheme, and decals.”

Nina Busch submitted this photo and note: “This photo was taken from my PA-28 on my way to pick up my daughter from college for Thanksgiving break. It was a beautiful, clear night with the city buildings lit up red and green. The photo was taken just north of Navy Pier.”

Eric Meltzer sent in this photo with a note: “Our Cessna 172i on the ramp at Palm Beach County Park Airport (KLNA) in Florida, decked out for Christmas. Decorations and photos by Erin Meltzer.”

Christian Sanchez submitted this photo and note: “During the festive Christmas season, I brought my dog to the airport with me. Once my C150 was out of the hangar, she eagerly settled down beneath one of the wings (her favorite spot). Sporting a pair of antlers myself, I thought it would be amusing to take a playful photo of her as my personal ‘reindog.'”

Stefan Brown submitted this photo and note: “Hallie at the controls of our Cessna 172, Peppermint, with Stefan Brown over Bowling Green, Kentucky. She graduates from WKU in May 2026.”

Bill Rushing submitted this photo and note: “Flying home to southern North Carolina from northern Virginia at 10,000 feet in our vintage 210. Strong headwind but we didn’t care…just enjoyed the flight.”

Christian Sanchez submitted this photo and note: “This photograph was taken as a personal treat to celebrate another trip around the sun! It was my first experience at Mustang Beach, and seeing it from pattern altitude added an extra layer of magic to the moment.”
