Amazing photos. It’s actually so intriguing to see you go to so many underrated and underused airport plus Fly underrated Liveries and aircraft. I approve this.

Wonderful trip report! Just recently flew into KGJT from KDFW on the E175 I quite enjoy Grand Junction airport as i do with all the other airports in Colorado hopefully we see some more of the smaller airports become 3D soon!
