Visual with Piper

Delta Boeing 717 lifting off from BWI.

There’s nothing like the roar of those rear-mounted engines as this sleek bird climbs out over Maryland skies. The 717 may be a rarity these days, but it’s still got that classic jetliner charm.

Aircraft: Boeing 717-200
Flight: Delta Air Lines
Departure: Baltimore/Washington International (BWI)

Frontier arrival into BWI.

The lighting hit just right to bring out the detail in the livery. Always a treat when Frontier’s fleet drops in with one of their wildlife tails.

Welcome to Visual With Piper.

I’m not on the ramp. I’m not using a DSLR.
I shoot from parking lots, fence lines, and window seats—with nothing but a phone.

From RWY10 at BWI to in-flight glimpses and rare catches like the Delta 717, this is where I share the sky—just how I see it.

No DSLR. No presets. Just Mr. Piper.

Follow along for daily drops, short clips, and whatever shows up on the glide path.
