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: Some Pre-flight Spotting

Before going flying this afternoon, I got some quick shots from the ramp area. I didn't waste too much time though, because my commercial checkride is coming up and I wanted to focus on preparing for that.

Preview:

Grumman American AA-1C Lynx (N9532U) departing on 34.
Cat/Peterson Learjet 45 (N657PP) departing on 34 for Red Bluff, California.

Birdstrike! As it turned out, N657PP's left wing hit a bird during takeoff roll!

Valley Flyers Cessna 172M Skyhawk (N515ED) arriving on 34 after a flight around the canyon where the wildfires occurred. At the controls is one of my friends in the flying club!
