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: Chasing an Allegiant Air Airbus A319

Earlier this afternoon, I drove out to the airport dike road again to chase another Allegiant Air Airbus A319, the first one I went after in well over a month. I've been monitoring FlightAware and FlightRadar24 frequently and I've noticed that many Airbuses that Allegaint has been sending into Provo were airframes I've photographed before, so I really had no reason to chase after them. Today was different because today's catch was an airframe I haven't photographed before. Also of note, I've noticed that it's been nothing but Airbus A319s flying into Provo for the past two months and no MD-80s, which I've found strange. It appears that most of Allegiant's operations out of the destinations they currently serve out of Provo have all converted to Airbuses as the MD-80 continues to be slowly phased out of the fleet, which is too bad because I personally loved hearing the noise of an MD-80... Anyways, here's the link:
