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: Chasing a Cessna 560XL Citation Excel at Spanish Fork

After I got back from taking a friend flying this morning, I noticed an aircraft that I've been chasing after was getting ready to depart. The aircraft I was after was a locally-based Cessna 560XL Citation Excel that's kept in one of the hangars at Spanish Fork. And based on everything I've seen at Spanish Fork so far, I believe this Citation Excel is the largest fixed-wing aircraft based at Spanish Fork. I've seen this jet fly in and out quite a few times but never photographed it until now because I was either flying or I didn't have my camera with me. In fact, I ran to grab my camera from my car so I could get this photo opportunity!

Spanish Fork-Springville (SPK) 18

Preview:

Cessna 560XL Citation Excel (N75PS) holding short of 30 prior to departure.

Platinum Aviation Diamond DA40 Diamond Star (N321PF) on short final for 30 working the pattern. Good timing with this shot, as I got the left strobe flash!

Cessna R172K Hawk XP (N736ML) on short final for 30 working the pattern.

N75PS taking the active. The "business end" of the Citation Excel! You can really smell the jet exhaust whenever a jet or a turboprop is operating out of Spanish Fork!

N75PS beginning takeoff roll for departure on 30; no idea where to because this aircraft is untrackable on FlightAware or FlightRadar24!
