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: Lancair ES Sighting in Salem

After getting back from a local flight, I had the opportunity to get a few shots of a Lancair ES, a fixed-gear version of the sleek homebuilt series. Developed from the Lancair IV, only 90 Lancair ES kits were ever constructed, so that makes this a somewhat uncommon sight. Examples such as this are the reason why I try to have my camera with me whenever I fly or go to the airport.

Salem (SLE) 79

While it's a respectable high-performance fixed-gear homebuild aircraft the ES model was among the Lancair lines that got sold off when the original manufacturer decided to focus on the Lancair Evolution, which eventually became an orphaned airplane with the shutdown of Evolution Aircraft. The new Lancair company based in Texas took the ES model and has since developed the Lancair Mako.
