Photographer's choice

Delta Connection CRJ-200LR N447SW

The CRJ series is my favorite regional jet family, and I particularly love the Delta livery on the plane. The CRJ-200 is the smallest of the family, and the iconic Salt Lake City Intl. background brings out the Delta livery perfectly on this plane.

Asia Pacific 757F N888LT

For a short while in December 2020, Asia Pacific Arlines, a cargo airline based out of the South Pacific partnered with UPS Airlines to provide supplemental supplies and service during the holiday season.

USA Jet 727F N726US

This was my first ever attempt at night photography, and also my first time formally photographing the famous Boeing 727 aircraft, which is a quickly diminishing aircraft in the United States.

United Airlines B787-8

For my trip to San Francisco Intl, I really wanted to see the old United Livery on one of their Boeing 787-8 aircraft, which is the smallest variant of the 787 family.

United Airlines Star Alliance Livery B737-800 N76516

My first time photographing the infamous Star Alliance livery on the United 737-800 that signifies the airline's partnership within the Star Alliance worldwide network of airlines.

Southwest Airlines "California One" B737-700 N943WN

My favorite of Southwest's "state flag" inspired liveries, and my first time photographing the "California One" livery landing in Boise.

British Airways B787-10 G-ZBLB

Nothing compares to a classic Seattle-Tacoma Intl. photograph than having Mount Rainier pose in the background, and what better plane to do so than the second British Airways Boeing 787-10, the longest variant of the 787 family.

Icelandair Boeing 757-200 TF-FIR

My first time photographing Icelandair's iconic livery celebrating it's 80 year anniversary, also this ended up being the airline's last visit to Seattle for a while due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

ANA Boeing 777-300 JA78DA

My first time photographing an ANA aircraft, and no better way to do so than with a classic San Francisco Intl. angle showcasing the aircraft just seconds from rotating out of San Francisco to start the journey back home to Tokyo.

Berry Aviation Embraer E120 Brasilia

The EMB120 Brasilia is one of my favorite regional planes that is no longer flying much. I was lucky to see one arrive into Seattle's Boeing Field.

Fiji Airways Boeing MAX 8

Fiji Airways is one of my favorite international airlines, and being in the continental US, I do not see much of them. I was happy to see one of their new MAX jets flying around during a test flight.
