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: Unique Sightings in Albany

After my uncle and I got back to Albany following a cross-country flight to/from Florence, Oregon this evening we refueled his plane. During the refueling, I took the opportunity to take a few photos of some unique aircraft occupying the ramp at our home base airport; the annual Northwest Art & Air Festival that's held in Albany was this weekend and the event drew visitors as well as aircraft that were giving rides.

Albany (S12) 5

Preview:

Curtiss-Wright Travel Air B-4000 (N13907) parked on the ramp. In town giving airplane rides for the festival.

Cessna 560 Citation V (N560G) parked on the ramp. Pretty rare to see jets at Albany, considering that the runway here is only about 3,000 feet long, but plenty long enough for smaller jets as well as VLJs. This plane's based out of Pasco, Washington and has been a frequent visitor here in Albany for the duration of the month.
