Bob Hayes submitted this photo and note: “Awesome weather at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024. Archer N6063H has once again made a problem-free flight. After 20 years of coming, she has been very dependable year after year, I feel very lucky to be a part of the Hagerstown Flying club and having access to her, and living in this great country where we have the freedom to fly.”
Photo of the Day
Picture of the Day: AirVenture volunteers
As EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024 kicked off July 22, General Aviation News photographer Megan Vande Voort captured this photo of two of the approximately 5,000 volunteers who will be helping out during the week-long show: Rosie Duckworth from Ithaca, Michigan, who has been an AirVenture volunteer for 36 years and Bob Gehring from Rubicon, Wisconsin, who has been volunteering for 39 years.
Picture of the Day: Do you believe in coincidences?
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: Ouch
Diana Layton submitted this photo and note: “The aftermath of an aircraft when the landing gear failed to come down in time. This plane was housed at Grant County Airport in Petersburg, West Virginia, until all the paperwork was complete.”
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.”
