Susan Loricchio submitted this photo and note: “Driving in to my local north Jersey airport, Essex County Airport, I spotted a pleasant surprise in the parking lot, causing me to flash an automatic grin. Some desperate animals are about to get a new lease on life. I was not only smiling for the rescued animals, but proud of the pilots and their support team who make it possible — everyday heroes in the pilot community.”
