Scenes from Arizona

Here are some pictures from a trip to Phoenix and Tucson

Here is a Delta Airlines 757 flying over the top.

We were at FL400.

This is the same 757 cruising by. This picture

was taken over KABQ.

This is a picture of an airliner "graveyard"

just north of Tucson. This isn't the famed

"Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan AFB. That one

is much bigger than the one pictured here.

Here's our bird on the ground at KPHX. This

shot was taken from the old air traffic control

tower that is now owned by Cutter Aviation.

Recent trip

Here are a few pics from a recent trip to KEGE ( Eagle County Regional )

Update

It has been awhile since I have posted anything on this site. I thought it was time to start again. I made mention of my new position in my last post. Here are a few details. I'm working for a NYSE Listed corporation as a Lear 60 /King Air 200 Captain. This is my first job in the world of corporate aviation and I really like it. Unlike the airline industry, the people I fly for actually know my name and seem to appreciate the job that I do. I've included a couple of pictures of the Lear 60 that were taken from my phone. I just purchased a new digital camera, so I will be posting more pics.

This is a view of the awesome flight deck of the Lear 60. It's not as automated as the CRJ200, but it's pretty close. It comes equipped with FMS, and Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS).

Here is the Lear 60 on a beautiful Oklahoma morning. The Lear 60 has two Pratt & Whitney PW305 turbojets capable of producing 4,600 lbs of thrust each. With a Maximum Gross Weight of 23,500 lbs (at takeoff) the engines provide a good thrust to weight ratio. This aircraft will climb!

We typically operate the aircraft at altitudes around 40,000 feet and speeds near the .80 mach number.
