is it right?

Hi,

I have a sentence with the word "aloft" which I got from a post here in this forum and want to know if it is OK to have an adverb following a Be verb. (is it modifying the adjective "still"?)

He is still aloft.

He is still aloft. "is" is a linking verb. "aloft" is modified "he" "still" is modified "aloft"

Right after a form of be is the perfect place for an adverb!
