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: T-28 Sighting in Salem!

Last night as I was headed out for a quick little flight, I saw a North American T-28 Trojan arrive into Salem and it appeared to park on the ramp for the night. It was already dark, so I didn't get any photos, nor did I even bother having my camera on me last night. Banking on the possibility that it would still be there the following morning, I decided to get up at sunrise to see if it was still there, and my hunch paid off! After the Reno Air Races last weekend, this little bonus warbird was a nice catch!

Salem (SLE) 92

Preview:

United States Army Beechcraft C-12F Huron (84-0486) parked on the ramp. I've seen this military King Air before. Quite unusual to see it parked on the FBO ramp instead of the Army National Guard base on the other side of the airport.

North American T-28B Trojan (NX194RR) parked on the ramp. Arrived from a private airstrip nearby out of the Independence/Monmouth area. Per flight tracking, it was in Reno after the races.

Originally delivered the United States Navy as 138194 in March 1955.

Currently registered to Mentor Flight, LLC out of Cincinnati, Ohio. Always a pleasure to catch a random warbird in Salem!
