About This Blog:

The primary purpose of this blog is to showcase the best of my aviation photography. As such, you will find links to my main aviation gallery on Facebook containing photos from aircraft spotting, some kind of aviation event such as air shows and fly-in events, as well as aviation museums. I also critique my flights on commercial airlines and the services they provide. Occassionally, you'll find personally written, independent articles based on news and current events involving aviation. And of course, I'll put up links to official and unofficial aviation-related websites when I find them. And when time permits, I'll talk and discuss about anything involving aviation. But most importantly, this is my way to document my journey into the aviation industry!

Gallery Update: Rocky Mountain Winter

Finally! Another update to the gallery! These photos were taken during a semi-business trip to Idaho and Utah. Photos include the rare A2D Skyshark on display at Pacific Fighters in Idaho Falls, Idaho and the Hill Aerospace Museum in Ogden, Utah:

Also, the off-airport spotting album has been updated:

Off-Airport 1 (Updated)

Preview:

The sole-surviving Skyshark airframe restored by Pacific Fighters on display at the Idaho Falls Regional Airport. Development issues with  the engine ultimately doomed the future of this aircraft.

But talk about a waste of a cool nickname for an airplane... 

Restoration hangar at Pacific Fighters. Aircraft included are the T-6 Texan and P-51 Mustang.

One of many F-16s based at Hill AFB coming in to land most likely after training exercises held somewhere in the Utah desert.
