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: Spotting from Reno to Portland

As you may have read from yesterday's blog post, my flight got delayed for nearly two hours. Expect the unexpected right? Well, I took yesterday's flight delay as an opportunity and took some photos of the airplanes that were visible at Reno-Tahoe International Airport; planespotting from the terminal! And then, it all went on from there...

Reno-Tahoe (RNO) 3

Also updated is my commercial air travel aerial photos. In addition to that, I created a new air-to-air album because we actually saw some air traffic flying around us.

And finally, as we arrived in Portland, I took some photos from my flight as we taxiied to the terminal:

Preview:

FedEx Express Airbus A300F4-605R (N685FE) on take-off roll, departing RNO.

US Airways Airbus A319-132 (N826AW), in state of Arizona livery pushing back from the gate for a flight to PHX.
As is obvious from the tail-number, this aircraft was originally delivered to America West Airlines, prior to the merger.

Photo taken from SWA FL442 en route to PDX. My first air-to-air photo. It was pretty neat to see some other air traffic.

Delta Air Lines Boeing 767-332/ER (N187DN) at the gate at PDX, getting ready for a flight to Tokyo-Narita (NRT).

Delta Air Lines Airbus A330-323X (N810NW) at the gate at PDX, having just arrived from Amsterdam (AMS). As apparent from the tail-number, this aircraft was originally delivered to Northwest Airlines prior to the Delta-Northwest merger that occurred a few years back.
Delta recently upgraded the PDX-AMS route from the A330-200 to the 300 series in order to increase passenger capacity.
