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: Grumman Tracker Test Flight

The Legacy Flight Museum had their Grumman S2F-1 Tracker for a year and hasn't flown since it arrived. That all changed today, after painstaking work by museum volunteers to get it fully flight worthy (and ultimately ready for the upcoming air show), it took off for it's first test flight after arrival at the museum a year ago. And that only means one thing: I took pictures (and video). Here are the links:

Here's something cool; a sequence of photos showing the folding wings!
