Southwest’s Missouri One livery departing KBDL, 10/10/25. Just have one or two more Southwest specials to complete the collection. #southwest #missourione #airplanes #aviation #avgeek

I'm going to be making noise about Kipnuk & other devastated villages for a few days, folks. The YK-Delta is a vital part of Alaska & what this storm did to those residents is hell. The least we can do is save the Kipnuk dogs & support the Bethel Friends of Canines! www.bethelfriendsofcanines.com

Bethel Friends of Canines

Bethel Friends of Canines is a non-profit dog rescue based in the rural Alaskan village of Bethel. Not only do we rescue dogs in Bethel, but we also rescue dogs all over the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta...

I’ve seen photos from low level routes in several countries, and this one produces some of the best photos.

I checked my pics, and I caught four of these aircraft at the UNGA a few weeks ago. Would’ve been five if FOTUS had shown up on time 😂

And pour one out for two of many aircraft lost to runway changes, Bulgaria in an A319, and Vietnam in a 787 😑

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
