M. Wynn: "Wild Card" Aviation Photography & Images: Gallery Update: Cessna 404 Titan Sighting in Salem

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: Cessna 404 Titan Sighting in Salem

If I'm not doing any major spotting trips, I continue to seek out smaller opportunities locally. Case-in-point today; I was thinking of going flying since it was a nice day, but I decided not to due to feeling rather fatigued from work. But there were a few random, worthwhile spotting opportunities that presented themselves this afternoon at Salem and I'll the photos speak for themselves.
