An F-5B that my company built and maintains. She’s quite a head turner.

Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 taxis past the Burbank tower en route to KPDX.

Rainy day arrival of a Southwest Airlines 737 in its “vintage” livery.

These are members of CineJets/ Patriots Jet Team. They are specialized Aero L-39 Albatros fighters modified for high-speed aerial cinematography which were developed by Helinet Aviation and the Patriots Jet Team. They fe…

Not certain what make or model of aircraft this is. She just showed up at Burbank Airport one day.

Whenever the POTUS visited Los Angeles, AF1 would land at KLAX. But the support aircraft landed at Burkank Airport (KBUR). Here are two C-17 Globemaster IIIs with four MV-22s of Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1).

Just some engines admiration. United Airlines 737-800 with a CFM International CFM56-7B26 turbofan.

Revisiting the American Airlines 737 sporting the AirCal Retro Livery. It was such a beautiful sight.

Looking at a gorgeous IAE V2500-A5 from the forward luggage pit on an A320 at Burbank Airport.

Me striking a pose next to the winglet of a CRJ-200. Not my favorite aircraft but it was the only one low enough to the ground for me to get this shot. 😁 Plus my photographer got a bonus departing Gulfstream in the shot.

Yours truly marshaling Delta Connection/SkyWest Flt. 4569 arriving in Burbank (KBUR) from Salt Lake City (KSLC). It was also fun tracking it on FlightRadar24 while we waited for her arrival.

I initially thought that this was a US Coast Guard bird coming to Burbank Airport (KBUR). Turns out she’s a historic 1954 vintage C-130A Hercules (serial number 54-1631) operated by International Air Response Inc. based …

For me, working the ramp was neither boring nor mundane. I watched every arrival and departure with the same awe and wonder I felt when I was but a wee spotter.

1946 DC-3D departing out of KBUR.

When I was a child I used to draw winglets on planes not knowing what they were for or what they were called. I just thought that they looked really cool. Now looking at the split-wing scimitar on this 737 as an adult, k…

When the POTUS visits the Los Angeles area, Air Force One and the ground motorcade will land at KLAX. But other staff and equipment will be stationed at KBUR. Earlier this day we watched two VH-3 helicopters and three of…
