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: Evening Spotting at Salt Lake City International

This evening, I had to drop my sister off at the Salt Lake City International Airport so she could catch a flight to Portland, Oregon. Ever the presentable opportunity, I spent a good hour and a half plane-spotting after dropping her off near the approach end of Runway 34L. Considering that Salt Lake is a Delta hub, there wasn't a lot of excitement, but there were a few noteworthy catches from a personal level with tonight's spotting excursion.
