. . .that so many Seattlites love to fly given the beautiful, interesting skies we have to wander? It’s my first time to participate in Skywatch Friday (hello!), although I’m always taking photos of the sky and of aircraft. I never thought of it much when I was in college here, but now I’m keenly alert to all the air traffic and I love to watch it all. I have some Flickr friends who are pilots and plane enthusiasts, so when I get a shot of something unusual, they help me identify the craft. I keep adding to my series called “Seattle Skies.” Probably the most interesting one I’ve shown you was this, an Alaska Airlines jet, one of two with a very “Dis”tinctive livery, that I happened to catch a shot of from Olympic Sculpture Park. That building on the left is Rainier Tower, and the one on the right is the Olympic Hotel.
