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 at Spanish Fork

Happy Halloween everyone! After I got done flying today, I stuck around for a little bit to photograph some unique aircraft that caught my eye. One was an agricultural aircraft with a radial engine, the Weatherly 620. The other was an Airgyro Tercel, a gyrocopter. Here's the link:

Spanish Fork-Springville (U77) 4

Preview:

Weatherly 620B (N90379) parked on the ramp. An agricultural aircraft designed in the 1970s based off the Weatherly 201, which was built in the 1960s. The B-model is a 1992 production variant equipped with a Pratt & Whitney R-985 radial engine like the ones seen on Stearman biplanes. Radial engines are pretty uncommon here in Spanish Fork...

Airgyro Tercel (N557AT) working the pattern. Airgyro Aviation is locally-based at Spanish Fork and they manufacture three variants of their gyrocopters.
