Remarks: 'Air Force One' resides in the sunshine within the Boeing Museum of Flight here in Seattle. It's amazing to think the people and the places that this aircraft has seen. It was fantastic to be able to get on board it too, a very interesting experience! (5D2/17-40F4L)
Remarks: Southwest 700 series departs KLAS in some beautiful morning autumnal light. I love the view you get when LAS is on the 1's and the weather is this good! (7D/100-400LIS)
Remarks: Part of the biz jet ramp at KLAS houses these two beauties from the Sands Corp fleet. The livery on these two birds looks fantastic and i'm so glad to see them flying in the sky still. Shame there was no tri-star there and i understand that their fate is looking bleak now! (7D/100-400LIS)
Remarks: The beautiful iconic shape of Concorde sits in the beautiful washington sunlight where she now rests at Boeing's Museum of Flight. Between this and the Boeing 747 you have the two most iconic airliners that have ever graced the sky. It's so nice to get this close to AG and take in all of her beauty. Very lucky with the weather that day too! (5D2/17-40F4L)
Remarks: Here is another of the beautifully preserved aircraft at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. This VC-137B is the ex US Presidential aircraft 'Air Force One'. These 707 based aircraft will always hold a special place in my heart and i love any opportunity to get up close to one and photograph it. The colours and the livery on this aircraft looked stunning in the flesh and i'm so very glad we had such great weather in which to photograph it. (5D2/17-40F4L)
Remarks: Boeing Field is a fantastic facility. Not only do you have the amazing Museum of Flight which houses some of the best aircraft that have been built over the decades you also have a multitude of Boeing test aircraft and pre delivery aircraft flying in and out and also lots of private biz jet traffic such as this one. Here is a Falcon 2000 landing against a classic Washington state backdrop of the lovely fir trees. (5D2/70-200F2.8LIS)
Remarks: It was always my dream to be able to travel on Concorde but unfortunately that never happened, thankfully due to them all being preserved i was able to get on board 'Alpha Golf' in Seattle and take this shot of it's cabin. The Concorde is without a doubt BA's most iconic passenger aircraft. It screams beauty, elegance and luxury yet has a simple and quite understated cabin. Here you can see the 2-2 seating configuration and the nice subtle grey leather seats, showing their age with the slight coating of dust. I can only imagine the feeling of being sat in these seats and watching the screen at the front of the cabin read 'Mach 2'. (5D2/17-40F4L)
Remarks: Well this was nice to find in the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field, i love 727's and i wasn't photographing when these AA ones were active so it was nice to be able to add one to my collection here. Here is the nose section of this old 727 sitting here in the sun. It's years outside is causing it's paint to fade however the nice shine of the chrome remains. (5D2/17-40F4L)
Remarks: Now this is what aviation photography in Vegas is all about! 1's departures in beautiful morning light with the famous Vegas strip as the backdrop. Before our flight to Seattle we managed an hour's shooting and was gifted shots like this one... Here is a Southwest 737-300 departing out of KLAS leaving a huge amount of jetwash in it's wake. In the background the MGM, New York New York, The Monte Carlo and even the Hooters hotel/casino's can be seen. One of my favorite spots to photograph from in the world i have to say. (7D/100-400LIS)
Remarks: The big blue Korean 777 makes it's way out to depart Sea-Tac for the hop back to Seoul. I couldn't work out what was bluer that day, the fuselage of the aircraft of the sky. Whichever way i was happy with both as the Korean looked fantastic. (5D2/70-200F2.8LIS)
