Picture of the Day: My first ‘wing’ in general aviation
Tiago Barba submitted this photo and note: “Since I was very young I have always liked airplanes, so a few months ago I decided to capture the best moments in aviation through photography, always from outside the airport. This past weekend, for the first time in my 14 years, I had the opportunity to be up close with general aviation, since La Serena Aeroclub at La Florida General Airport (SCSE) in Chile organized “popular flights,” an opportunity to bring the local community closer to aviation, offering rides over the city at a very affordable price. They allowed me to participate as a photographer for the event and to my surprise I was able to fly in this beautiful Cessna 172F (CC-KLB). I am convinced that this experience was like my first wing in general aviation.”
Picture of the Day: Flying to Jamaica
Scott Silverman submitted this photo and note: “This is my 2020 Scoda Super Petrel LS amphibious seaplane on the beach near Negril, Jamaica. This is a great cross-country traveler. I flew down from the US over Cuba to Cayman Brac, then on to Jamaica. Water is so clear here it’s like landing in a giant swimming pool. Jamaica is very open to GA aircraft and has many secure aerodromes with newly paved runways. I’m down here for the winter season and will be heading back to the US in the spring.”
