This is My Air Space. I work on F-16s at Hill AFB Utah and have 42 years working on military aircraft both on active duty in the USAF and as a USAF civilian. I love all aircraft and photograph and video both military and civilian aircraft alike.

Westjet out of Canada is starting a service from Edmonton Canada to SLC starting this month and running until October 2025. This is the first one I've seen o approach but the lighting was bad so this is the only distance shot I was able to get.
An F-35 high enough to have the wing vortexes turn into a form of contrail. I have to wonder what it would look like from the ground with a few F-35s dogfighting other aircraft overhead on a humid day?
Windy day today in northern Utah that put a lot of dust and dirt into the air all day long.
A C-5M Super Galaxy passed over Utah at 37,025 feet this morning as I was having my coffee in my backyard. It came out of the west and headed east to parts unknown.

Your post made me smile.

Can you find the F-22 in this shot?

A FinAir A-350 flies high over Utah and passes by a very thin, and very pale, two day old Moon.
Very nice indeed.
Caught this KC-135R with wingtip refueling pods, from a distance, on approach to Salt Lake City. From the paint scheme I would say this is a privately owned Metrea Aerospace KC-135.
Atlas Airline 747.
Moon was playing hide and seek with the clouds this morning as this 747 passed by.
Breeze airlines A-220 lands at Ogden-Henley Airport, Ogden Utah, on 18 April 2025.
An F-16 flies at 40,000 during a Functional Check Flight (FCF).
Strange, I don't see any heat blur from the engines?
