Photo of the Day

David Summer submitted this photo and note: “Sunrise over Central Indiana in a 1960 Piper Comanche PA-24-250. It never gets old.”

Gerald Oliver submitted this photo and note: “We just happened to catch this Yak on takeoff from the Eagles Nest Airport (T56) in Midlothian, Texas, as the Historic Aircraft Preservation Society’s 1931 Fleet Model 8 (the last one flying), 1942 J-3 Cub, and a 1965 Ford Mustang sit nicely on a grassy patch.”

Jeremy Lezin submitted this photo and note: “I often fly my Carbon Cub SS out over the Monterey Bay, looking for whale activity. I count myself lucky if I find a single whale or a small pod. On this day I flew over half a dozen whales working with a raft of sea lions. The whales would dive down, blow bubbles, and then chase schools of fish to the surface.”

Jerry “Widget” Morris sent in this photo with a note: “This is a photo I took departing my home base, St Simons Island Airport (KSSI) in Georgia. I heard a friend of mine taking off in his 1964 Beech H18 and called him to see if I could join up. I found him about 15 miles west of KSSI motoring along at 1,500 feet. Pure nostalgia.”

Rick Tutt submitted these photos and note: “Crater Lake National Park and Mount Shasta as seen from the pilot seat in a Piper Malibu at 14,500 feet MSL.”

Andreas Kleeb submitted this photo and note: “After takeoff from the foggy Buochs Airport (LSZC) in a right turn to the famous St. Moritz mountain airfield Samedan Airport (LSZS) in the Swiss Alps.”

Matthew Baker submitted this photo and note: “A Cessna making a turn to final in a cloudy sunset.”
