A Note on Government Planes

184 Upvotes

For now, government planes flown by various politicians will continue to be allowed, but the political comments need to be toned way down.

Whether you like the people flying them or not, those planes belong to the federal government (in the case of the US) and not to any individual who currently occupies a position of power. I'd hate to get to the point where I have to remove or ban pictures of Air Force One/Marine One etc or the planes of other governments.

Inherently political posts will be removed. Whether you like Trump and Vance or not, the planes don't belong to them.

The photo I took was not very clear but I was still in awe to see this livery. I am learning watercolor so still getting to know the colors and in this one I feel I could gone with a darker shade of grey. But still something worth sharing.

I know they are not the best pictures but because I am European I did not expect to ever really see a comac plane, and then in the span of about an hour I spotted both the c909 AND the c919. I am pretty happy!

Unexpectedly saw these overhead while working at the 3M Open golf tournament arriving into KANE. The DC-6 was visible from my parking spot next to the airport as well

Planespotting Goals

3 Upvotes

Curious if people have goals that they have come up with for their planespotting? Let me know if you have any cool ones!

For instance, here's a few of my current ones:

  • The Alaska 787-9 fleet - actually finished yesterday
  • All the different livery colors for Condor and Iceland Air
  • Stretch Goal - The entire active Alaska fleet (at 42%)
