Gallery Update: Aviation Weekend Part 1 of 2

On my previous post, you'll recall I mentioned a local event that's held in Salem each year. Well it's that time of year again:

Hot August Flights 2012

Special thanks to the organizers of the event for making all this possible. Plus, I got some spotting done at SLE while I was at it. The gallery is on the following link:

As always, here's a preview:

As the title suggests, I declare it "Aviation Weekend". Today was the local event for me here in Salem. Tomorrow my dad and I will be heading up to Hillsboro for the Oregon International Airshow. This will be my first airshow to attend since my return from Japan. And though I was there in 2009, this time I got a bigger camera to take photos for the event so stay tuned both here and on Facebook for the conclusion of "Aviation Weekend". Enjoy!
