Gallery Update: Some Quick Shots at Work

After I got done flying and got back to work, all the planes went out again and there was a lull in office activity. That gave me an excuse to step outside with my camera in hand and get a little photography in. It was a beautiful day and a lot of aircraft were flying. And I got lucky, as there were a few unique aircraft sightings.

Spanish Fork-Springville (SPK) 19

Robinson R44 Raven II (N825TJ) arriving over Taxiway A.

Lancair 320 (N320DP) on short final for 30.

Airgyro Taurus (N553AT) on short final for 30 working the pattern. Airgyro Aviation manufactures the Tercel and Taurus gyrocopters. The Taurus is built for more heavy-duty roles such as air spray, fire & rescue, and heavy-lifting. It can hold three people compared to the Tercel's two and the Taurus can carry a heavier payload.

Platinum Aviation Diamond DA20-C1 Katana Eclipse (N802CT) on short final for 30 working the pattern. My flight instructor was giving a checkout flight!

Cessna 172M Skyhawk (N8285H) on short final for 30. Note the attachment points for sensor equipment; several aircraft based at Spanish Fork work in this capacity for some reason.
