With my regular Sunday routine(s) still suspended, I decided to go flying for myself. Plus, I haven't been feeling the desire to participate in what online Sunday activities there are going on lately, as I've been taking a step back from all current and possible future church functions for the time being.
I decided to fly up to Mulino State Airport near Portland today because I never been there before and I heard the skydiving company based there, PNW Skydiving recently acquired an aircraft I've never seen before until today: the Pacific Aerospace PAC P-750 XSTOL, a New Zealand-built utility aircraft that's often popular (not to mention purpose-built!) for skydiving. And suffice it to say, I was not disappointed with the time I spent at Mulino! After getting back to Salem, I took a few more quick shots there, where I got to see and photograph the 1,000th SCOCATA TB Trinidad ever built.
