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 →

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 →

Still Some Convairs Around

Posted on June 29, 2019 by Rob

Each evening sees a selection of Convairs making their arrivals at YVR. The freight location is on the south side of the field so they usually come in on the south runway. No good for where I was shooting from. … Continue reading →

Posted on April 28, 2019 by Rob

Boeing 727s aren’t a total rarity but they are certainly not common and, when one showed up at Paine Field, it was worthy of a look. Operated by Kalitta Charter, it was making a trip around the west. It arrived … Continue reading →

UPS Delivered from the Paintshop

Posted on March 29, 2019 by Rob

A sunny and cold winter day provides nice light and an afternoon arrival of a jet at Paine Field from the paint facility in Portland was enough to tempt me out. UPS is the primary recipient of 747-8F jets these … Continue reading →

Random Dreamlifter Action

Posted on March 15, 2019 by Rob

I have been gathering various shots of Boeing Dreamlifters over recent months and so figured I would just combine a bunch of them into a single post. No overriding theme here and some conditions were way nice than others. It … Continue reading →

Posted on February 17, 2019 by Rob

The only civilian 767s being built at the moment are for FedEx. I posted one of them on test at Paine Field in this post. I caught another one recently. I got the departure early on as it disappeared into … Continue reading →

Direct to Ethiopia is Still Not That Heavy

Posted on January 24, 2019 by Rob

Ethiopian Airlines has been taking delivery of some Boeing 777F freighters for their cargo operations. One of the new jets was being readied for delivery while I was at Paine Field. Operations were in a northerly direction so, from the … Continue reading →

Under the Ruslan

Posted on January 14, 2019 by Rob

I have shot a lot of Antonov 124s at Everett since they are there on a regular basis. One weekend recently, a Volga-Dnepr flight was scheduled in to SeaTac. Shooting at SeaTac is a bit restricted in what you can … Continue reading →

Smoking the Ukrainian Way

Posted on January 4, 2019 by Rob

The regular AN124 visitors to Everett continue. This time of year can often bring northerly winds which means a departure up past the Future of Flight building. Having a heavy Ruslan depart that way can mean a nice angle to … Continue reading →
