Posted on August 14, 2019 by Rob

I’ve seen a few Korean Air 777s on test at Everett since we moved here. This one was heading out on a delivery flight on a Friday evening. The only reason it gets a post is that, from what I … Continue reading →

Dropping the Shutter Speed in Bad Light

Posted on August 12, 2019 by Rob

My cloudy Vancouver shoot also gave me the chance to play around with some lower shutter speeds. I have done this for the turboprops before but this time I decided to play with some of the jets. A really low … Continue reading →

FedEx Testing and Delivery

Posted on August 6, 2019 by Rob

Summer evenings can be a good time to visit Paine Field as flying seems to be busy and the light is often quite nice. On two separate visits, I saw this FedEx 777F flying. The first time it was on … Continue reading →

Stacked Up the YVR Approach

Posted on July 31, 2019 by Rob

Getting a good angle on jets lined up on the approach is a combination of luck with where you can stand and the timing of the arrivals to be in sequence when you can get them all together. It is … Continue reading →

777X Taxi Trials

Posted on July 23, 2019 by Rob

I had a lucky break one evening when I headed up to Paine Field for one thing, only to discover that the 777-9 development airframe was undergoing taxi tests. I got there to see it on the Boeing ramp with … Continue reading →

Boeing 2707 Mockup

Posted on July 19, 2019 by Rob

An online discussion I was involved in recently revolved around supersonic transports. While the TU-144 and Concorde were the main focus, the Boeing 2707 also came up. I had seen the front fuselage mockup of this when it was at … Continue reading →

How Slow Can I Go With the Turboprops?

Posted on July 15, 2019 by Rob

Shooting Dash 8s and Q400s at YVR is not going to be particularly interesting so I was able to spend some time playing with shutter speeds progressively lower and lower. Shooting very low shutter speeds on the 500mm handheld is … Continue reading →

A DHL Delivery But to Them Rather Than By Them

Posted on July 13, 2019 by Rob

A lot of freighters come out of Everett these days. All 747s are now freighters as are the 767s. The 777 passenger variants are a regular feature but there is quite a demand for 777Fs too. I saw one go … Continue reading →

Lots of Max Jets in Storage

Posted on July 11, 2019 by Rob

The grounding of the 737 Max fleet has resulted in plenty of parked jets. I have shown them at Paine Field but Boeing Field seems to be a big storage location. The employee parking lot has been turned into a … Continue reading →

Reverser Close Up

Posted on July 9, 2019 by Rob

When you get lots of similar jets arriving, you can mess around a bit. The 500mm was far too long for the touchdown shots for most aircraft but, when you are getting a bunch of Air Canada A320s, no harm … Continue reading →
