Vintage Aerial View LAX Airport

Proposed Lockheed "Skylift" for inter-terminal transportation.

بنت الهرم

This is the Bent Pyramid of Sneferu, as photographed by Captain Jivehead while streaking high over Dashur in a World MD-11.

Around 2600BC, some non-union construction workers started building this structure in reverence to The Great Sneferu.

It was unstable, and they revised the construction plans part-way through. I would imagine the hardest part was reworking the electrical.

Kahului Airport Maui Aerial Flyover View

On December 24th 2008, we went up in N6009V (callsign : Zero-Nine-Victor) so we could take pictures of the private jets at OGG.

Yet another special thanks to the tower for accomodating us that day, amid the numerous landing heavies, helicopters, and what-not...

These are just a sample. We took several hundred pictures ... some of which will meet their demise and ultimately be lost forever in future Airplane Life blog posts.

Oh, and if any of these aircraft happen to belong to you, please let us know. Please be specific. Don't just say, "The white one."
