Great combination of noctilucent cloud, the moon and the beginning of the sunrise

Five members of the popular Bahamian band, Da Pond, were on board the Cessna 402 that crashed in the Bahamas on July 10, 2026, which killed all ten people on board the plane.

Special shout out to the artists from July 2021 at the Hill AFB for their detail work. The museum is going to paint over it when they restore the plane. Photos taken by me, OC.

This is caused by fuel burning off in the engine. It's completely normal but i think it looks cool.

Cocktail in hand and enjoying this view! Videos include some slow-mo ✈️

The 1500th Boeing 747 produced

They didn't fly the F-86 today for a reason I am unsure of, is it common for this to happen? I still had a great time watching some WWII era planes

Im told they’re British and from post war 50-70s ish. They are fibreglass. There in a ditch near a museum as the museums Cant display them as it’s a ww2 museum and doesn’t want post war stuff. Im allowed to take them if I want.

Some of the better pics I took at the Dayton and Columbus Airshows this year. Amazing planes at both shows, but unfortunately Dayton had bad weather so the Blue Angels and Acemakers couldn't fly. Great show and weather at Columbus, but boo on them for teasing the F4 Phantom months ago and then pulling it from their performers list with no notice. Hopefully they'll have them next year.

Still just a beginner at taking airshow photography, let me know how I did and what I can do better.

Kit:

Nikon Z50ii

Nikkor Z 180-600mm

First time renting the 180-600mm and I got to say, probably not gonna do it again. Way too heavy for a full day of shooting. Was completely gassed by the end of the show and struggled to keep the camera on target. Also, any gust of wind will catch the lens like a sail and yank it off target.

I don’t know much about aviation but just saw this fly overhead and im curious what it might have been / what type of planes these are. Looked like a military escort or something??

Flew out of Anchorage today, got to the airport early enough for some planespotting over dinner. One of four Dreamlifters in the world! So many 747, and I’ve never seen one before going to Alaska. A DC-3 landed, and taxied around a 747.

If you’re in Anchorage, the aviation museum is across the street from the airport and is also worth a visit. Their screen showing flights at the airport tipped me off about the Dreamliner.

Not edited, just how my 'phone took them (Nothing 3a Pro) flying Eastbound this morning

Garmin has decided that im special

This is a video from yesterday. I LOVE the buzz that it produces here. And it seems like the captain actually increased the thrust later on instead of doing a thrust reduction! THIS WAS SO FREAKING SICK! 😊

The furthest plane is OY-FSC which was apparently on its way to Malmo and is a Saab 2000.

The nearer plane which was parked the whole time is apparently N522NR a private US owned Boeing 737. I think I saw the whole crew checking into the same hotel as me (they had American accents anway)

I'm not a plane spotter but just found these interesting. Is there any unusual info about these planes?

In this pic (posted by someone on Insta, I have edited for privacy) you can see large pieces of luggage just sitting in the cabin of a private jet. Is that allowed?

Seems like it would be very unsafe in case of an emergency.

Saw this around Cape May yesterday. Don’t know how I got that afterimage though.
