As a pilot, [I] found the AOA interesting. I am in the picture, closest to the ground.
Taken just before starting the engines for another long night flight. I was already seated when I saw the reflection of the sun on the blades and had to leave the CP and go out to take a picture. The picture was taken using my iPhone, so there is visible grain, which gives it, in my humble opinion, an interesting feel. Other then removing the heli's registration [number], nothing was changed.
One of our customers — Edmondo Penazzi of São Paulo, Brazil — sent us this great photo of him washing the bugs off his Zenith STOL CH 750 light sport utility kitplane as his son, Enrico, looks on.

The Lebanon High School marching band hosted a pancake fund-raising breakfast at Lebanon/Warren County (I68), Ohio on a beautiful Saturday in July 2011. After the event, the ramp was pretty busy. Kodak Easyshare DX6490. As shot.
Glorious end to a beautiful fall day on the east coast. Flight home to Manassas, Virginia from Georgetown, Delaware.
Photo of Sikorsky's Raider concept mockup. It was next to their X2, which broke the 250-kt. helicopter speed record. This was the only photo I got that day that didn't have somebody standing in front of either the Raider or the X2. Taken at the Stuart (Florida) air show on Veterans Day weekend, 2011.
Taken at Todd Given's grass fall paradise called Hanna Rheas.
Ed. Note: We've checked several times, but if the attribution on this photo ends up claiming that's a Lacomba sent in by Ralph Luscombe, that is incorrect.
Ed. Note to Ed. Note: Ye old "POTW" editor still managed to mistype it first time around! Thanks to readers Roger Baker and Buck Wyndham for pointing out the shoddy typing job in good spirits.
Popular salmon fishing strip about 100 miles west of Anchorage. 700 feet long. Several Super Cubs, two PA-12s, and one straight-tail C-172 on big tires. Better fishing spot was a half mile away, but only 300 feet [of it were] usable. Two Super Cubs there. My brother said flying in Alaska is not the same as the lower 48, and now I believe him.
