Gallery Update: Busy Morning in PDX

The title speaks for itself. I dropped my sister off and decided to take 30 minutes to do a little spotting and it was one after another and I enjoyed every minute of it! Here the link for the morning rush photos of PDX:

Portland (PDX) 5

The first for this photographer has to be the siting of Virgin America ever since they started flying to PDX earlier this June:

Virgin America Airbus A320-214 (N835VA)

Interesting to note that Portland is A LOT busier in the morning than mid-day or evening hours. Also caught this new paint job:

Horizon Air De Havilland Dash 8 DHC-8-Q400 (N414QX) in San Diego State Aztecs livery.

Gallery Update: Wings of Freedom Tour Stops in Salem

Today, some World War II era aircraft stopped in Salem, Oregon this weekend courtesy of The Collings Foundation as part of their Wings of Freedom tour. Photos have been uploaded and can be viewed through the links below:

Not much but it's better than nothing. Here's a preview:
