This morning, I had to drop off my parents at Portland so they could catch a flight down to Salt Lake City, where they would spend a couple days this week. Obviously, this meant an early-morning spotting trip for me and it was a beautiful morning to do so, as I got to make use of the rising sunlight for my photography. As far as any major spotting highlights are concerned, I can't say much about it other than the usual cargo heavies, and a pair of Hawaiian Airlines Airbuses, one A321neo and an A330-200, the latter of which seems to have returned full-time on the airline's route between PDX and Honolulu.
