Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Hi!

Time for my second post covering my stop at Kingman (AZ), while en-route from Los Angeles (CA) to Tempe (AZ). It has been twenty years ago that I visited Kingman and since then a lot has changed, transforming the airport into a industrial area with lots of large warehouses and distribution centers.

What remains at Kingman is the storage of airliners, especially regional ones like the CRJ200s and ERJ145s. Photography was a bit tricky as the sun was not fully behind me yet but I managed to snap some interesting shots.

There's a large field with stored aircraft to the West of the airport and previously there was a road that would bring you close to the fence for some spotting. The road is still there but you can't reach it anymore as the road is blocked and also a barbed wire fence, preventing you from walking to that part. Annoying.

1. I was able to photograph three ERJ145s destined for Rano Air in Nigeria. The aircraft are former United Express as the livery shows but already had their Nigerian registration applied like this 5N-BZX.

2. Close to the fence is this Skybus Jet Cargo DC-8 N805SJ, which looks in prestine condition and ready to fly:

3. Also owned by Skybus but not as good-looking is this DC-8 N802DH, still wearing the full DHL-livery and a resident of Kingman since 2011:

4. This DC-8 is also owned by Skybus and is the former well known VP-BHM. It's now registered as N872SJ. Unfortunately heatwaves ruined the shot, despite it only being 10C.

5. At the Eastern end of the airport you can find two Asia Pacific Airlines B727Fs, including this N86425:

6. This DC-4 N90203 is also a long-time resident of Kingman:

7. And I end this post with a picture of this ERJ145 of Western Air, an airline from the Bahamas that will take delivery of this former United Express aircraft soon:

See you in the next post!

Cheers! :wave:
