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: MD-83 in the Rain

With all the flight training and studying I've been doing lately, it certainly has been a while since I had any sort of update. Nothing big but an Allegiant Air MD-83 flew into Provo today operating the Phoenix-Mesa route and I got a few photos of it. To top it all off, it was a rainy day today so it made for some more interesting shots. I'm also pretty much set on chasing after every possible Allegiant N-number whenever opportunity arises at this point and today's MD-80 sighting was an airframe I haven't seen before! Here's the link:

Provo (PVU) 16

Preview:

Allegiant Air McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (N422NV) taxiing to the terminal after arriving from Phoenix-Mesa as AAY132. Airframe initially started it's life as an MD-81 and originally delivered to Scandinavian Airlines-SAS. In 2006 the airframe was converted to MD-82 standards and flew for SAS until 2009. Allegiant Air acquired the airframe in mid-2010 and converted it into MD-83 standards in early-2012. I always appreciate the sight of a 'Mad Dog;' I'm hoping to share the Provo pattern with one at some point in my flight training!
