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: Road Trip Stop at Hood River

I am finally back home with my family in Oregon! I made what's hopefully the last long trip I'll make for the rest of the year, getting an early start out of Idaho and making my way through Oregon. I planned it this way so I can have some time to check out the Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum (WAAAM) in Hood River, Oregon. Like when I went to Nampa just a few months back, I drove through Hood River many times on past road trips and I figured since I was travelling by myself, it was about time to check the place out. I will admit, after volunteering at the Legacy Flight Museum for the past seven months, it's actually quite nice to be able to check out another museum. As the name of this museum implies, this place has older, more antiquated wood and fabric aircraft as well as retro automobiles so  it's a little different from the usual museums one might be used to. Here's the link:
