A blog about planes and other flying machines
Trans Maldivian Airways on platform, a photo by Ibrahym Knyhaad on Flickr. I don’t know about you, but I’d be nervous to go out and board a plane like this. Not because I’m afraid of sea planes, but because floating platforms like this are not my cup of tea. This is a pretty cool shot [...]
The White Mobile Armour, a photo by tsuna72 on Flickr. I love this perspective. The 747 is a beautiful plane from just about any angle that you look at it. It seems like that nose cone has had some work done to it since it’s cleaner than the rest of the plane. Or maybe I’m [...]
I photographed this DC-8-72, registration N722CX, at McClellan field in Sacramento CA over the summer. The plane, used to belonged to Finnair, then the French Air Force, where it engaged in VIP transport duties in combi configuration. From there, it went to ATI, who converted it to full cargo. Now, the plane sits on ramp [...]
Airplanes Skidding In A Snow Storm, a photo by Anirudh Koul on Flickr. Via Flickr: You don’t wanna fly from this runway! Was flying of from Montreal to London via Toronto. As luck would have it, my itenary was greeted with a massive snow storm. While trying to take off, the plane started to skid [...]
I took this shot of an MD-80 Landing At DFW from Founder’s Plaza when I was there last October. This was one of the last shots that I took. I can’t wait to go back to Founder’s Plaza and take some more photos, now that I know when the best light is.
Over the summer, I had the opportunity to do some plane spotting over in San Francisco. I arrived early enough that I was able to snag the very best spot. I captured a rather mundane picture of a SouthWest Airlines Boeing 737 touching down at SFA, that just didn’t speak to me. I liked that [...]
Photo of an American Airlines B767-N7375A landing at DFW Airport.
At the John F. Kennedy Airport 05/1973, a photo by The U.S. National Archives on Flickr. Cool photo of a Pan-Am Boeing 747-100 At JFK Airport. The photo was taken in May 1973 and is from the National Archives. Here’s a cool comment about this plane on Flickr by TVL1970: This is Pan Am Boeing [...]
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, a photo by matt.hintsa on Flickr. I dream of going to Maho beach, in front of Princess Juliana Airport St. Maarten (SMX) to take pictures of the landing airplanes. This is the kind of shot that I wish I could take. It’s a spectacular shot. Don’t you think?

This is the first of, I believe 3 parts, of my personal 2011 aviation highlights. This was a very active year with my aviation hobby as I got to see planes that I hadn’t seen before, I went to a couple of airshows and also went plane spotting out of state. Part 1, comes from [...]
