Aviation heaven in the Arizona desert ✈️

I finally made it to the legendary Pima Air & Space Museum. Walking among hundreds of historic aircraft — from classic airliners to powerful military jets — felt like stepping through the timeline of aviation.

And yes! You can walk up to any plane and take a close up look! Let me know which one is your favorite plane there?

My dream came true ✈️✨

Dubai and UAE 🇦🇪 has been my home and base for the past 15 years, and I’ve always dreamed of seeing inside the world’s busiest international airport. That moment finally came.

From 6am to midnight, I was airside capturing nonstop movements, operations, and pure aviation madness — not a single quiet moment. The sheer volume of traffic blew me away.

@dxb is truly a playground for aviation lovers. If you’re an avgeek… this is the ultimate dream. More to come! ✈️🎥

20 Yesteryear airplane photo and slides! (Not digital)

Before digital camera, I was taking films and slides. You wouldn’t be able to preview the picture on the camera and have to wait patiently from film development. Every click cost too! Looking back, every pic is now golden memory! ✈️
