Rusty Eichorn submitted this photo and note: “The sunrise did a pretty good job as the tail beacon this morning. N18DP at Northbound Seaplane Base (5MN6) on Pokegama Lake in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.”
Picture of the Day: Best $50 I ever spent
Kurt Winker submitted this photo and note: “The 1942 J-3 Cub I won in a raffle held by the Dakota Territory Air Museum — best $50 I ever spent. Its life started by going directly into the Civilian Pilot Training Program for World War II.
Reading through all the original logbooks was amazing, as every flight back then was put into the aircraft logs. This photo was taken the evening before I flew the J-3 from Mid Valley Airpark (E98) in Los Lunas, New Mexico, to McKinney National Airport (KTKI) in Texas. About 520 nm of flying at ground speeds between 40 and 75 knots. It took all day and four fuel stops. What a great way to spend a day!”
Picture of the Day: Sunset in paradise
Abigail Dang submitted this photo and note: “Flying in Hawaii means constantly gorgeous views, no matter what time of day, but sunset is a particular favorite of mine. My student and I completed an RNAV approach at Kalaeloa Airport (PHJR) just before sunset, after which the procedure would not be permitted.”
