Lockon Aviation Photography

Arizona is an aviation lovers dream! Due to the climate, Arizona has many active airports in addition to numerous storage and restoration facilities. This trip actually covered a week but the bulk of the interesting photos were taken across the three days from 3 May 2007 through 5 May 2007. The trip also included a stop in Denver.

Within three days the airports below were visited and more than 2000 photos were taken. The trip included a flight with Sonoran Wings out of Tucson Airport over Davis Monthan and Pinal Airpark.

Photos from the Pima Air Museum are not included here but may be added to the site later.

Special thanks to Rafal S., Stefan K., Blendi Q., Tony O. and, of course, Susan.
