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: Quick Ramp Spotting in Salem

I decided to drop by the Salem Airport for Day 2 of Warbirds Over the West this afternoon as I was under the impression that there would be more display aircraft flying in compared to yesterday. However, I decided against going in (and paying another admission fee!) because as it turns out, not a lot changed compared to yesterday; weather has definitely NOT been in our favor in the surrounding areas, especially for some display aircraft and their pilots that couldn't make it at all because they got stuck somewhere. But I did stick around long enough at my usual spotting location at Salem-McNary Field to get a few interesting aircraft sitting out on the ramp by the Flight Deck Restaurant & Lounge.

Salem (SLE) 27

Preview:

Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 (N44VS) parked on the ramp. Arrived yesterday from Sandpoint, Idaho. Note the large aftermarket winglets, something that isn't standard on a factory CJ1.

Piper PA-46-350P Malibu Mirage (N4133G) parked on the ramp.

Flight Design CTSW (N248CT) parked on the ramp. I last saw this aircraft four years ago.
