OA-1 Skyraider two crashed looks like it took out some street signs along the way. Both crew okay. So much for the new plane smell. #aviationlovers #aviation #avgeek

Brand new ORANG F-15EX over Mt Hood. What a contrast to the last F-15C I posted. I didnt get to do a lot of avgeek photos this year but was happy to see this airplane in flight. #photography #aviation #sunset

A few years ago I photographed the Corsair from the back of an A-24 Banshee. The A-24 was the Army version of the Dauntless SBD. #photography #aviation #history #navalaviation #nikon

I think Disney's Dusty Crophopper fell on hard times. I took this sunset photo tonight. #avgeeks #aviation

Sad to hear of the passing of Astronaut Lovell. Respect for the pioneers.

Stopped by to visit one of my top 3 favorite P-51 Mustangs. This warbird was getting ready to perform at the Abbotsford Airshow. #aviationphotography #avgeek #mustang #photography. My other fave mustangs ate Lope's Hope and Thunderbird in no particular order. Need to get air to air with this one.

It's almost time for the Abbotsford airshow. One of my favorite places for a twilight airshow. #aviation #photography #avgeek

The McChord Air Museum is a hidden gem of an aviation destination in the Puget Sound region of Washington. #avgeek #photography #aviation #history

I got a chance to test out a new lens and body combination at #SEA a few weeks ago. I saw a cool Hawaiian A330 in the colors of Lilo & Stitch. #avgeeks #photography #nikon

Panning the camera is so much easier on a racetrack then an airport. #photography #aviation #flying #myphoto #nikon

Raptor appreciation post. F-22 looks pretty cool in person. USAF appreciation too.

For all the #histscalemodels out there, some weathering patterns on well-maintained aircraft. There are 4 colors of scrapes on the Growler tank, paint scratches on the warbirds and exhaust stains coming out of panels on the P-3. #avgeek #aviation

It's airshow season. Sadly I'm not attending as many as I usually do this year. I'll make the best of the ones I do attend. Here is Abbotsford's Heritage Flight from a few years ago. #myphoto #aviation #photosky #myart #photography #avgeek

I like cars too! Collectors, racing, jdm, and vintage. #automotive #vintage #photography #museums Car culture is as fun as Avgeek culture.

Best photobomb ever. Two Argo F-18E show off buddy tanking. An E-2 Hawkeye enters the frame. #aviation #photography #navalaviation #nikon #avgeek. VFA-147 now fly the F-35
