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!
