Planespotting: KC-135 tankers @ BHM

0 Comments

I took these photos last March. The USAF base for these planes was in full view of the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM), in Alabama. Been reading about KC-135 tankers all my life. Finally got to see them in real-life albeit from afar.

Planespotting: Airbus A380 @ SFO

Couldn’t get an aisle seat for my Chicago – San Francisco flight. But I was rewarded with the following views of the largest of today’s jumbo jets.

Planespotting: Airbus A380 at LAX

0 Comments

2011 was a very quiet year travel-wise. Only one trip to Canada, and that was it (lots of snow-related observations on that trip, but that’s for another post). 2012 is shaping up to be more interesting.

One of the side-benefits of travel is plane spotting. This is the first Airbus A380 I ever saw. Thanks, in no small part, to the fact that I couldn’t get an aisle seat on this flight from Taipei.
