Photo of the Day
Picture of the Day: To new friends!
Kurt Winker submitted this photo and note: “I was doing a test flight in my homebuilt over Mid Valley Airpark (E98) in Los Lunas, New Mexico. Very dark skies and nasty thunderstorms slowly approached from the west. On CTAF, I heard a flight of Cubs slowly approached from the southeast. We all landed before the storm got here and I learned that they were trying to get further west that day, but the weather wouldn’t allow that. We parked them all at my place (surrounding the world’s oldest Cherokee 235). They spent the night at my place and we told stories and got to know each other. The next morning, they continued their journey. Most of us still keep in touch years later! To new friends!”

Mark Still submitted this photo and note: “The 1944 C-47/DC-3 owned by the Historic Flight Foundation on the ramp at Paine Field, Washington. This aircraft flew the Hump in World War II, then went on to serve as the corporate aircraft for Johnson & Johnson. You can imagine it sitting on the ramp in Assam, India, waiting for its crew to take on the challenges of a Himalayan crossing.”

Picture of the Day: A nice addition to the fly-in
John Weber submitted this photo and note: “A rainbow caught at the Wings over Weirsdale fly-in at Love’s Landing, Florida.”
Picture of the Day: What’s not to like?
Gary Lanthrum submitted this photo and note: “My Maule MX7-180C at Sullivan Lake in northeast Washington State. This lovely spot in the Selkirk Mountains is a gem of backcountry flying. The lake is clean. There is a state campground adjacent to the runway so potable water is available and the scenery is spectacular. What’s not to like?”
Picture of the Day: Sunrise on a cloudy morning
Bill Canino submitted this photo and note: “Sunrise on a cloudy morning. We were waiting to fly as an RV formation to escort a B-17.”
Picture of the Day: Waiting for skis
Rusty Eichorn submitted this photo and note: “Not many 1933 Stinson JR. SR left in the world. This one is patiently waiting on the ramp at Grand Rapids/Itasca County Airport (KGPZ) in Minnesota for its change over to skis.”
Picture of the Day: Fiery flight
Sylwia Tylkowska submitted this photo and note: “An Aeroprakt 22L and a phenomenal sunset. Photo was taken in Poland in 2022 during the return flight from a sky trip.”
