Aviation Nation (completed)
Posted 11 years agoNow that it's over, I finally get a chance to sit back and reflect on what I accomplished!
Sunday was much better than Saturday; more photos, better opportunities, and Ellsworth AFB B-1B Lancers.
Unlike yesterday, where I uploaded a bunch of random catches, there will be some order as far as what I upload.
I came away with nearly 1,000 photos on Sunday to go with the almost 600 from Saturday.
Going to rest up first, then go through a very long process of sifting through each photo.

Right now however, I'm exhausted! Going to rest up a little, then try to upload some of the best shots I snagged during the show!
594 photos total!! XD

Aviation Nation (8-9 November 2014)
Posted 11 years agoAt long last, I'll finally get a chance to test my photographic skills at the Thinderbirds Homecoming Airshow!
The following link will give you guys an idea of what to expect in terms of static displays and aerial performers (http://www.nellis.af.mil/aviationnation/)
Needless to say, I'm super excited! I'll do my best to come up with some spectacular photos to share with all of you!!

Update from last week
Posted 11 years agoAs you guys know, I sent an email to McCarran.com's webmaster concerning ladder usage and taking pictures over the fence. As expected, there's nothing against doing it; as long as the ladder is 6-10 feet away, you're perfectly safe.
Unfortunately, I will not be going to the Sunset Rd. Spotting area anymore! The fence at that spotting location received an addition that makes it impossible to get clear images of the aircraft (you'll catch part of the fence with every photo, no matter what).
The LaQuinta Inns & Suites will be the place for me to catch anything and everything that approaches runway 25L. The location offers a great view of the descending planes without any interference from fences or other objects.
Took a few photos this morning, will start working on those later tonight!

New (temporary) spotting location
Posted 11 years agoJust wanted to let you guys know that on Tuesday, 14 October 2014, I was informed by metro police that I could not take pictures of aircraft over the fence!
It's something I've been doing for over a year now, and all of a sudden, it's a bad thing! I've sent an email to mccarran.com regarding the issue; until I receive a reply however, I'm going to be taking pictures from the LaQuinta Inn on Sunset Rd.
I'll present those photos once I'm done with editing!

Awesome day at McCarran
Posted 11 years agoI've got plenty to share with you guys, including a certain 747SP!
Couple of articles to share with you!

The first displays leaked images of both Frontier and Southwest's new liveries. Thanks go out to
DallasGreenWolf for pointing out the new Southwest livery.

This link displays the worst airline livery ever; the fact that it's brand new makes it even worse.

Uploads and upcoming Birthday
Posted 11 years agoI just woke up from working overnight and doing some early-morning spotting at the airport. The main target, if you will, was a UPS 767-300 with winglets.
As for my Birthday, it falls on Thursday/4 September 2014. I'll be turning 36-years-old. To celebrate, my sister and brother-in-law are taking me to a steak house in Station Casinos on Wednesday.
The photo uploads will consist of what I captured this morning, and anything from last week.

User page updated + ITT Tech status
Posted 11 years agoMy user page has been updated; it now lists all the characters I currently possess.
As for ITT, I finished my last class of the second quarter. The third quarter doesn't begin until 15 September 2014 so I'll have some time to myself for the time being.
For my first two classes from the second quarter, I finished with an A grade. I'll have to wait at least a week to learn to results of my third class, though I'm sure I'll get an A for it as well.

Control F5
Posted 11 years agoI should have made a mention of it in my posts since the dimensions are a bit larger than 1280.
Flightaware likes my CRJ photo!!
Posted 11 years agoDo you guys remember this photo, http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13654415/
I uploaded it over a week ago on Flightaware's website, and it has received quite a bit of praise! The photo has accumulated nearly 4,000 views, 18 votes with an average score of 4.67 out of 5, it was the weekly pick of last week and is also a staff pick!
I knew it was a great shot when I took it, I just didn't think it was good enough to garner so much interest.

Friday the 13th photos!
Posted 11 years agoThe date was 13 September 2013! On this day, numerous Mexican-registered private jets flew in for the Mayweather fight scheduled for Saturday, 14 September 2013.
I have class tonight at 6:00 pm, followed by work from 11:00 pm to 5:30 am! I'll try to get something up before I head out, but most likely won't have any uploads ready until Thursday.

Zero-G flight scheduled for 2 August!
Posted 11 years agoThe second weightlessness flight will be taking off from McCarran Saturday morning between 10:45 am and 11:15 am. As was the case back in March, the 727-200Adv used for the flight will arrive the day prior sometime after 10 am (the exact time in which it arrives varies greatly).
Just a heads-up if anyone out there is living in Vegas and wants to try and capture the old trijet!

Re-Posts for my Gallery
Posted 11 years agoBasically, I plan to re-upload many images into my gallery so that others on the site can see what I've achieved thus far, and mainly because the high-resolution images were difficult to view unless you were viewing them from an iPad (which I was).
The images themselves will go through the current editing process I'm now using, so they'll be a bit better than what I uploaded previously. Plus, the resolution will be more than reasonable this time around.
And, of course, I'll continue to update my gallery with any current material I capture throughout the week.
As always, thank you all for the watches, favs, comments!! :D :D

Photos, fireworks, thunder! Oh my!!
Posted 11 years agoI hope everyone's had a wonderful 4th of July!
As for me, I'm working on some aircraft photos I took before going to work. I did get to see fireworks, mainly because they were being launched all over Las Vegas! Currently, the light show is still going on, thanks to a few thunderstorms in the area.
And now, back to editing!! :D

Plans for 4th of July weekend
Posted 11 years agoFor starters, I'll be working from the 3rd to the 5th. On top of that, I have class Saturday morning. Since I'm working Friday night, I'm counting on you guys to get some really cool firework photos for me (if possible).
As for aircraft spotting, I may do some on Friday before work. And of course, there's all of Sunday to enjoy. Also, Red Flag 14-3 at Nellis AFB is something I'm really looking forward to (considering the Israel Air Force will be participating in it).
As far as ITT Tech is concerned, I recently received the Perfect Attendance and Highest Honors Certificates from last quarter.
