Photo of the Day
Pictures of the Day: The view available only to GA pilots
Wojciech Kosmalewski submitted this photo and note: “In 1932 two pilots from Poland won the Challenge International de Tourisme 1932 competition. To commemorate that big achievement 90 years later, a group of 10 pilots in four aircraft from Aeroklub Warszawski followed this historical route. Truly amazing adventure flying across many European countries, different seas, mountains, and cities. Among them was Venice, Italy, with views available only for GA pilots. Flying in close vicinity of iconic Venice was unforgettable.”

Picture of the Day: In good company
Roby Denman submitted these photos and a note: “I was fortunate to fly Crazy Horse 1 at Stallion 51 in Kissimmee, Florida, with Ed Shipley on a previous visit. On this subsequent visit I asked if I could bring my 1947 PA-12 into the hangar for some pictures with Crazy Horse 1 and Crazy Horse 2 and they were very accommodating — to me and my Cub, the best and most fun plane I’ve ever owned. My thanks for wonderful memories! Next goal: Some time with Lee Lauderback in Crazy Horse 2.”
Picture of the Day: Round Top Peak from my Zodiak
Dale Doty submitted this photo and note: “I couldn’t find any local aviation events to fly to so I just headed east to Alpine County Airport (M45) southeast of Lake Tahoe in California. Just before arriving there I passed the snow-covered Round Top Peak (just to the left of the wing tip). It was a nice, calm, sunny day in California.”
Picture of the Day: Traveling rainbow
Katie Detrick submitted this photo and note: “On an IFR flight in my DA40 from Venice to Naples, Florida, we flew past some isolated showers that were catching the light just perfectly to create a rainbow. As we flew past, the rain followed us, and we had a rainbow off our wing for a few minutes.”
