I finally got photos of actual aircraft movement with my new camera; it happened while I was on my way to class. Though I wasn't expecting the first aircraft I took a photo of in flight to be a helicopter! Regardless of what it was, I am quite pleased with how well my camera does and this gave me an opportunity to use my telephoto lens for the first time. Being off-airport and having a new camera, this means a new photo album, which will be updated in the future whenever I take new photos while off-airport:

| The aircraft was a Eurocopter AS350 B3 (N324BF). Manufactured in France, it's known as Écureuil (Squirrel) but marketed as the "A Star" in North America. According to the FAA website, this aircraft is privately owned in Idaho Falls, yet it bears the name 'Northpoint,' a relatively brand new apartment complex in Rexburg for BYU-Idaho students. Turns out tenants who sign a lease early enough for this really nice apartment complex gets a free helicopter ride. |
