Propofol and Kerosene - I am an aviation geek, amateur photographer, and a physician (anesthesiologist). Mostly aviation, with some ships and wildlife w/occ astrophotography. Seattle area - mostly Paine Field spotting. Own work unless otherwise stated
G-STBL - British Airways 777-300ER transitioning to final for SEA from LHR as BA49
Not long ago, I wasn't sure if I would ever see another MD-11 in the air again. N596FE on base for SEA from MEM as FDX710. Lousy light, but I was glad it stopped sprinkling
N411DX - Delta Airlines A330-900 in Team USA livery on base for SEA from AMS as DL145
N781HA - Alaska Airlines 787-9 turning final for SEA from LHR as AS101
D-AIXU - Lufthansa A350-900 cuts a path through the clouds on base for SEA from MUC
Always love a special, especially on a A340 - LH490 D-AIGP peeks through the clouds turning final for SEA from FRA on 5 Jun 2026
I was in Washington DC a few weeks ago and happened to get a spot of Marine One returning the president after the China trip - and the Hay-Adams has a great view, even though Lafayette park is still all torn up and fenced off.
N779XW - Boeing 777-9 BOE001 returns to PAE still sporting the tail skid protection apparatus on 23 Feb, 2026
Newest Royal Caribbean International Icon-class ship Star of the Seas seen en-route from the Meyer Turku shipyard to Cadiz prior to starting revenue service in August.
N827DN - Delta 737-900ER with nose decal honoring C. E. Woolman - the founder of the airline.
I got my first glimpse of the Delta 100 livery - much further away than I would have liked and shooting through a tree - but that is a nice looking plane! N589DT A321neo
SAS resumed service to Seattle this past week after a hiatus that started back in 2009. I got a lovely flyover by the A350-900 SE-RSE on base for SEA from CPH.
We had a relatively clear night allowing for a couple hours of M 109 imaging #seestar #astronomy
A sunny morning off allowed a trip out to the Kenmore Log Boom park to see the morning reposition parade from Kenmore Air. #avgeek #planespotting
Skycardians - F-15SA just left Boeing Field in Seattle heading southeast. #Skycards @jasonchampton.bsky.social
Fortunately the Seatac flow let the Lufty A340 fly over me. #Planespotting #AvGeek
Bald eagle spotted an otter with a flounder. Eagle scares the otter who drops the fish. Eagle jacks the fish while the otter is fleeing, then the sad otter returns to the scene of the crime to find the fish gone. Whidbey Island, Washington
CAG bird for the VAQ-129 exits the pattern after Field Carrier Landing Practice at OLF Coupeville, Whidbey Island, Washington
Gulls will attempt to eat some amazing things. They’ve been chowing down on sea stars, but this one was a bit too big. Eventually another gull stole it but ended up losing it in the water during the getaway.
Finally got good light and a good flyby. Bald eagle - Whidbey Island, Washington
Love the mini air show that is Growler FCLP at the OLF on Whidbey. Twilight high-ISO, but still fun
