Rick Dirks submitted this photo and note: “I own a 1975 F33A Beech Bonanza. It went in for a panel upgrade. I was contacted by the company doing the upgrade, Bevan Aviation in Wichita, that the exact same year and model was in for nearly the same upgrade. Upon a little further investigation the serial numbers were one number apart: CE-565 and mine, CE-566. Since then the other owner and I have become very good friends and are both members of American Bonanza Society.”

Picture of the Day: Post flight
Adam Starace submitted this photo and note: “It was just a little touch and go practice on a nice afternoon around John C Tune Airport (KJWN) in Nashville in a Frequency Change aircraft. I’m a sucker for nice examples of a breed; this mid-1960s C-150D is still in the rental fleet. It’s well maintained and I love having access to it. The day may come when it’s hard to find something to rent.”
Picture of the Day: A real possibility
Michael Ruehmkorff submitted this photo and note: “I took this photo of our pressurized Centurion alone on the ramp in Telluride, Colorado, in May, 2024. Telluride is currently the highest commercially-served airport in North America at 9,070 feet MSL, and second only in elevation to Leadville, Colorado, which is 100 nm northeast at an elevation of 9,934 fleet. GA piston aircraft shorten the 6-1/2 hour drive from Denver to around 1-1/2 hours and makes enjoying a visit to Telluride for the day a real possibility.”
Picture of the Day: Glider regatta
Steve Kennedy, a glider pilot with Red Wing Soaring Association at L.O. Simenstad Municipal Airport (KOEO) in Osceola, Wisconsin, writes: “Gliders readying for tow at Region 7 Glider Regatta at Albert Lea Airport (KAEL) in Minnesota, May 2024.”
