Hey y'all! This is my first post here on BlueSky, so I figured I'd take a moment to introduce myself:

I'm an aviation, wildlife, and astrophotographer living in Maine, USA. I primarily planespot at KBGR (Bangor International) and love sharing my photos!

My apologies for the lack of posts lately (to be honest, I completely forgot about Bluesky), I'll try to post more!

There was a great selection of aircraft today for me to try my new lens on.

I tried a few new editing tricks on these photos of mallard ducks I took today.

I definitely underestimated the size of the C5M...

I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.

These two seagulls spent a long time together today.

Here's one of the B-52Hs that stopped by KBGR last December. I was amazed by just how large they were.

B-52H parked on the apron at KBGR. A blue, cloudy sky is behind it, while in front we have a large unobstructed view of the tarmac. The B-52 is facing to the right, with the whole aircraft in frame.

Had a lovely time flying over the Penobscot River today.

Does anyone have any tips for aerial photography? I should be taking a flight in a Cessna 172 on Saturday, and flying around the state. I'd love to take some photos up there (provided I can bring my camera) so I was wondering if there's anything I should keep in mind.

Had the chance to see Airbus Beluga ST #3 at KBGR on November 30th, 2024. Very oddly shaped aircraft.

Can't say I've ever heard anything quite like the Raptors before. That deafening howl that turns into a ground-shaking roar on takeoff is just incredible.

Nothing about kids dying from measles is normal. Anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr. and the Republicans who enable them are responsible for every single one of these deaths.
RFK JR on Measles Outbreaks: It is not unusual. There are measles outbreaks every year.

Off in the distance, I spotted these two mallards looking into the sunset together and just had to get a photo of them.

Two mallards (a male and a female) facing towards the sunset while floating in the water. Rocks are seen dotted around the top, right, and bottom right of the image.

Pretty sure they'll still be flying the B-52 by the time the B-21 is retired...

Captain's Log, Stardate 43125.8. In preparation for the decommissioning ceremony for the USS Enterprise NCC-1701D, we have the exceptional honor of being escorted by one of the newly re-engined Federation ships...the B-52X. First flown April 15th 1952, the B-52 has been in continuous service, undergoing multiple upgrades during its lifetime. The now reengined B-52X is expected to serve up to stardate 53000.0 and beyond if no suitable replacement is available at that time.

What's y'alls favorite aircraft? I'm personally a big fan of the KC-135R, but the Augusta A109 has a special place in my heart too.

Civil Air Patrol stopped by the airport the other day.

Nothing quite like hearing the continuous thudding of a Blackhawk's rotors. Caught this Blackhawk touching down at the helipad @KBGR.
