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: Big Birds in Provo

It's Saturday and though I didn't have any classes, I had to run some errands this morning and that included a stop at the Utah Valley University Flight School as well as a visit to the neighboring TAC Air Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) to purchase some materials needed for Ground School. It was my lucky day because a pair of Air Force C-130s as well as an Airbus A319 operated by Allegiant Air were there and I showed up just as they were about to depart so I justified getting a little planespotting in since I had some time to kill.

United States Air Force C-130H Hercules (92-0551) airborne after departure from 13. Also from the 94th Airlift Wing out of Dobbins ARB.

Allegiant Air Airbus A319-111 (N305NV) airborne after departing 13 as AAY133 for Phoenix-Mesa. Formerly G-HMCC with EasyJet and then to EasyJet Switzerland as HB-JZO. These Allegiant Airbuses are starting to become a common sight; I certainly hope I can catch a few of their Mad Dogs here. Allegiant has orders for over 30 aircraft from the A320 family split between 19 A319s and 15 A320s planned to be in service by 2020, which will replace the MD-80s.
