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

Last evening I was finally able to photograph an military jet. #aviationphotography #avgeek #f15 #aviation #photography #AndrewKolstad

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

Raptor appreciation post. F-22 looks pretty cool in person. USAF appreciation too. #myphoto #photosky #myart #photography #aviation #avgeek

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

Speed!!!!! #aviation #aviationphotography #avgeek #sportscar #photography

Some obscure 135 model at the USAF museum. I can't find the photos I took of the nose art . #avgeek #aviation #militaryaviation I need to be more organized.

October was too late to take a float plane adventure in Alaska. So, I tried my hand at being a #railfan #nikonphotography #railroad Nikon Z8

I was deeply saddened to wake up to the news that Admiral Tom Kazenski had passed. He was best known for fostering a culture of safety among the students in an elite aviation graduate course in the 1980s.

Saw that the USS Nimitz departed for one last deployment. I got to see an F-18 airwing aboard Nimitz. I'd love a chance to see the F-35C in action. #navy #aviation ##avgeek #photography

#MustangMonday my 3rd most favored Mustang. My first Warbird Air to Air photography subject. Lopes Hope 3rd. #1 is Thunderbird #2 Val-Halla #myphoto #photosky #myart #photography #flashes #aviation #avgeek

I ran into an issue when I sealed up the fuselage on a model airplane. #tonytonytony #histscalemodels Hasegawa 1/32 Kawasaki Ki-61 . I'll stick to photography !

Tight parking on the USS Nimitz that day. I'd be to nervous to maneuver the jets into position, it was fun to watch the trained sailors do the task. #navy #aviation #photography #avgeeks

Vintage C-53 Skytrooper getting into position for an air 2 air photoshoot. The good thing about mirrorless is not having to look at the back of the camera for video. This was a DSLR. #avgeek #photography #history #aviationphotography #aviationhistory

I see FEMA debate is trending. If you want to learn about disaster mitigation, recovery, and response read the Stafford Act. www.fema.gov/disaster/sta... It more informative than click bait headlines. #hsem #emergencymanagement Now back to #avgeek content

Rotary Rocket anyone? I don't think this got very far in space craft development. It was taken in the days when a memory card held MB instead of GB. Yes, just megabytes. Mojave Spaceport #avgeek #aviation #photography #space

I'm lucky enough to see C-17s almost daily. It never gets old. One time I got to sit in the cockpit when one landed. #usaf #avgeek #aviationphotography #photography #militaryaviation
