M. Wynn: "Wild Card" Aviation Photography & Images: Gallery Update: Interesting Sightings in Albany & 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: Interesting Sightings in Albany & Salem

With weather being rather unpredictable this month thanks to the "April showers" we've been getting, today was really the only good day to get some flying in. I made a stop in Albany to get some fuel and got a few quick shots around the ramp area, including a few new additions to the flight school's fleet where I completed my instrument training. Upon returning to Salem, I also got some interesting shots of some aircraft. I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

Albany (S12)

Salem (SLE)

Preview:

Beechcraft A23-19 Musketeer (N5685S) parked on the ramp.

Infinite Air Center Flight Design CTLS (N929CT) parked on the ramp. Infinite Air Center acquired this light sport version of the CT series due to an increase in demand of high-wing aircraft for flight training purposes.

Infinite Air Center Piper PA-28-180 Cherokee D (N6403J) parked on the ramp. This plane replaced the Cherokee I finished my Instrument training in after it was sadly wrecked October last year.

Co-Z Cozy Mark IV (N287R) taxiing out for departure. My first time seeing this homebuilt based off the Rutan Long-EZ! The Cozy Mk IV is built from plans using basic raw materials, but is not technically a kit aircraft, though many small parts are available prefabricated. The design derives from the Rutan Long-EZ, which was approved by Burt Rutan himself.
