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: Post-Flight Spotting in Salem

I'm hoping to re-take my checkride for commercial this coming weekend, so it's down to the wire this week to get some flying in to do some last-minute practice. Prior to and after my flight, I had a few opportunities to photograph a few worthwhile sightings at my current "base of operations" and I was quite pleased. Some of my fellow flying club members asked me to get photos of them when they took off for their respective flights!
