I have been spending a lot of time up at Scottsdale Airport lately. I normally prefer military aircraft, but I love the evening light and mountains the location provides, and from time to time, you do get a military or warbird surprise.

The airport does provide a lot of photography opportunities from outside the fence, but I have also been lucky enough to work with some of the airport's tenants.
