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 a Denver Air Connection Dornier 328JET in Provo

Once again, I credit FlightAware.com for this spotting opportunity! I noticed that a Key Lime Air Fairchild-Dornier 328JET was en route to Provo. After doing a quick search, it was an airframe I never photographed before AND this 328JET was in the full Denver Air Connection livery! I knew I had to chase this one down, so I headed out to the airport dike road once again and successfully got the shots I wanted. Here's the link:

Provo (PVU) 53

Preview:

Key Lime Air (d/b/a Denver Air Connection) Fairchild-Dornier 328-300 328JET (N394DC) on short-final for 13 arriving from Boise as LYM3307. Later scheduled to continue on to Portland with the same flight number. My third time catching a 328JET and my first time catching the full Denver Air Connection livery! It's been slow, but it seems like Key Lime Air is finally repainting their Dornier fleet to match what their business model is. I gotta say, I really love the colors on this livery and branding!

First delivered as N417FJ to Atlantic Coast Jet (AC Jet)  in January 2001 and operated for Delta Connection. Transferred to Atlantic Coast Airlines in August 2001 following the re-branding of AC Jet. Transferred again to Independence Air in August 2004 following the re-branding of Atlantic Coast Airlines. Following the demise of Independence Air, airframe went to Vision Airlines in June 2006; re-registered to N38VP in December 2006. Acquired by Key Lime Air and re-registered to the current N-number in June 2011.
