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: Caravan Amphibian Sighting in Salem!

After I got back from flying this afternoon and as I was buttoning things up with the airplane and hangar, I noticed a Cessna 208 Caravan equipped with floats taxiing out. Having never seen something like that before here in Salem, I knew I had to get a few photos of it, so I grabbed my camera and walked over from the hangars to the south ramp.

Salem (SLE) 37

Preview:

Cessna 208 Caravan 675 (N509JE) departing on 34 for Burlington/Mount Vernon. Note the amphibious floats!

The 675 designation denotes that this 208 is an early-model (before development of the 208 Grand Caravan) equipped with a 675 horsepower Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-114A turboprop engine, which has higher power than the standard P&W PT6A-114.
