Planespotting from home this evening: IcelandAir's "Vatnajökull" 757-200 (named for Iceland's largest glacier) arriving at Portland Int'l Airport #PDX / #KPDX from Reykjavik's Keflavik Int'l Airport #KEF / #BIKF. All of IcelandAir's 757s are scheduled to be retired by 2026. So I've been trying to catch each of the two with special liveries when I can. Portland is the longest route currently flown by IcelandAir, and so almost always gets a 757. #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW

What a flight - so very much needed. Got the longest flight on the most unpromising day, even beating the ex-CFI! Probably rank it as one of the nicest fights all year so far. Had Red Kites flying above, below, and alongside too - so wonderful to be in the same air as them.

The Red Knight: A Solo Spectacle

Not all of Canada's air displays were full teams. The Red Knight was a solo performer from 1958 to 1969. The pilot, always an experienced RCAF instructor, flew a T-33 Silver Star jet painted brilliant red. The Red Knight brought aerobatics to smaller towns and airshows that couldn't host a full formation team, becoming a unique and beloved part of Canada's aviation heritage. #Canada #RCAF #ColdWar #Aviation 🇨🇦
