Business Aviation and Avgas: Alaska’s Liquid Lifeline
Aviation is integral to nearly every aspect of modern life. You’ve likely heard about Alaska’s unique dependence on it, but do you truly understand how deep that reliance runs?

Islamic Republic of Iran Boeing 707-300 [EP-AJD] at JFK/KJFK
Nothing like a Stage 2 airliner coming into JFK for UN week. This was a big one, and I don't think it's come to North American again since.
The Disaster That Wasn't: Saving Eastern Air Lines Flight 902 - NYCAviation
Student pilots are taught very early on to recognize that when an airplane approaches its minimum flying speed, the airflow over the wing will begin to separate or break down, creating turbulence over the tail. The degradation of lift and the associated turbulence over the tail causes the airplane to buffet and alert the pilot to a deteriorating and dangerous situation. The recovery is rather basic – lower the nose some, apply full power to the engine and let the airplane fly out of it.

American Airlines Boeing 737-800 [N919AN] at LGA/KLGA
One of my most important photos to me. It's been my most published, and is my favorite "College Point skyline photo," with the light is received and its vertical position between the terminal building and skyline.
