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: Some Post-flight Spotting

After getting back from a local flight, a few aircraft caught my eye and I had my camera on me, so I did a little impromptu spotting. With the COVID-19 crisis still prevalent, social distancing measures still in-effect, and air travel at an all-time low, there's not much worthwhile spotting opportunities to jump on but I still keep an eye out.
