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.”

Picture of the Day: A day at the Beech
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.”
