Photo of the Day
Picture of the Day: It’s Not Always About the Speed
Hayman Tam submitted this photo and note: “A gathering of exotic sports cars pose with a homebuilt Marquart MA-5 Charger recently at the Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos, California. With a maximum level speed of 126 kts (145 mph), the Charger is probably the slowest two-seater in this group.”
Picture of the Day: Some Help With The Landing
Bob Orris submitted this photo and note: “My wife and I rented a C-172 to rescue Dempsey and Hero. Dempsey was 10 months old and Hero was about a year and half old. Both puppies were great travelers during the entire trip until about 15 minutes before landing when Dempsey decided he wanted to help me land! He kept trying to get up to the front seat and was so incredibly cute that my wife took him and held him until we parked. Dempsey and I are in the picture taken by my wife Karen.”
Picture of the Day: Tennessee River Sunset
Al Trausch submitted this photo and note: “Flying my 1976 Cessna 150M, I captured the sunset on the Tennessee River between Guntersville and Huntsville, Alabama.”
Picture of the Day: Back Home
Danny Marcy submitted this photo and note: “Just returned from Stratford, Texas, pulling my Avid Flyer on its own trailer. I started this build in 1992 and finished it in 1997. In 2010 I retired and sold the Avid and our house in Illinois. We moved to Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, and I had no place for the Avid at the lake. Then the flying bug bit again. I joined EAA Chapter 1254 at the Lake and decided to call the man who bought the Avid. We struck a deal. The wife and I drove to Texas to bring my Avid Flyer back home.”
Picture of the Day: Old Dog, New Tricks
Konstantinos Kalogridis submitted this photo and note: “A Cessna F172M modified with Garmin electronics.”
Picture of the Day: A Proud Father
John Hart submitted this photo and note: “This is the day my son, Brian J. Hart, took possession of his very own Cessna 150. He got his private pilot certificate a few months earlier and one day wants to fly to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh from San Marcos, Texas. He loves to fly and wants to become an airline pilot. I’m a proud father and support his dreams.”
Picture of the Day: The Races Take Off
Lisa Bentson sent in this photo from the National Championship Air Races in Roswell, New Mexico, where she’s working as a volunteer on the tow crew.

Picture of the Day: Flying Over Niagara Falls
Alison Tantillo submitted this photo and note: “I have a bucket list of flights I want to accomplish in a Cessna 172 and this flight was on the top of that list. I was able to go up with my friend on a day trip to Niagara Falls departing from New Jersey. Most amazing flight I have done to date and would recommend to any pilot.”
