Photo of the Day
Picture of the Day: Why is that pilot holding a lion?
David Newill submitted this photo and note: “Valerie Newill, 10, wants to know why Indiana Aviation Hall of Fame Legacy Member Roscoe Turner is holding his pet lion, Gilmore, in his plane. The newly completed ‘Hoosiers in Flight’ display at Indianapolis International Airport recognizes and honors more than 40 INAHOF members, Indiana natives and long-term residents, who have made an enduring contribution to aviation or aerospace in Indiana, the nation, or the world through achievement, leadership, exceptional service, innovation, or entrepreneurial spirit”.
Picture of the Day: Wings without fuel
Luke Chandler submitted this photo and note: “Pictured is the BETA Technologies ALIA CX300, tail number N916LF, the first production model of the CX300. This CTOL aircraft is fully electric and can be fully charged in less than an hour. This shot was taken by me from the end of Runway 15 at Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport (KBTV) in Vermont.”
Picture of the Day: Sunrise or sunset?
Gilles Roy submitted this photo and note: “My aircraft is a 2007 Cessna Turbo Skylane. I was flying over Salton Sea, south of Coachella Valley in Southern California, at an altitude 3,000 MSL. I question if you can find out this: Am I flying in the sunrise or sunset? I am the only soul aboard. This is a clip of a GoPro video, one of the best I did over many years. Mother Nature often offers us spectacular views, now decide if it’s morning or late in the day…sunrise or sunset.”
