When #NationalAviationDay and #WorldPhotographyDay fall on the same day, you need to dig into your archives and pull out an F-15EX from the Oregon National Guard. #f15イーグル #photography #Aviation

Just read at TWZ that the USAF wants to increase its procurement of F-15EX to help the aging Strike Eagles. Here is a photo of a new F-15EX around Mt Hood last fall. That's great news. #aviation #photography #defensenews #nikon

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

Stopped by to visit one of my top 3 favorite P-51 Mustangs. This warbird was getting ready to perform at the Abbotsford Airshow. #aviationphotography #avgeek #mustang #photography. My other fave mustangs ate Lope's Hope and Thunderbird in no particular order. Need to get air to air with this one.

For all the #histscalemodels out there, some weathering patterns on well-maintained aircraft. There are 4 colors of scrapes on the Growler tank, paint scratches on the warbirds and exhaust stains coming out of panels on the P-3. #avgeek #aviation

It's airshow season. Sadly I'm not attending as many as I usually do this year. I'll make the best of the ones I do attend. Here is Abbotsford's Heritage Flight from a few years ago. #myphoto #aviation #photosky #myart #photography #avgeek

I was deeply saddened to wake up to the news that Admiral Tom Kazenski had passed. He was best known for fostering a culture of safety among the students in an elite aviation graduate course in the 1980s.
