Picture of the Day: General aviation in Europe
Simon Paul submitted this photo and note: “General Aviation in Europe is far from dead. A gradual shift can be observed from single-engine piston certified aircraft to experimental and micro light aircraft. This picture shows Van’s RV-9 PH-SCP being rolled out of the hangar at Zwartberg Airport in Genk, Belgium, with a Bell 47 in the grass, having just arrived from a local joy flight.”
Picture of the Day: The view from the window
Diana Layton submitted this photo and note: “The view from inside the Grant County Airport (W99) in West Virginia shows perfect weather for fun in the sky.”
Picture of the Day: Doc visits Tucson
Paul Keidel submitted this photo and note: “As part of its History Restored tour, the B-29 “Doc” spent a week in late September 2023 at Tucson International Airport. Tours and rides were offered. I’m fortunate to have an insider’s view to its operations since I work here at the airport. And having been immersed in aviation since I was a kid, it’s a thrill to be in the presence of one of the two only airworthy Superfortresses. Fun fact: My driver instructor from back in the early 1980s was a former B-36J pilot and a KB-50 pilot who gifted me both sets of his pilot manuals.”
Picture of the Day: The Pilatus nose knows
Marty Lewandowski submitted this photo and note: “The cool down of the Pilatus PC-12 at Erie Municipal Airport (KEIK) in Colorado. Just my reflection — a cone selfie.”
