I went flying from Salem with my friend from the flight club this evening on a little photo mission/personal project of mine up in the Portland-area. After getting the photo mission done, we flew up to the Scappoose Industrial Airpark to make the outing where we both could log cross-country flight time. Now I've landed at Scappoose several times in the past three years as it's a fairly simple cross-country destination. But I've never had the opportunity to explore the airport until today and I'm glad I did as the airport is home to several General Aviation manufacturing firms, where some unique aircraft types are built. It was a worthwhile stop.
Preview:

| Viper Aircraft ViperJet MKII parked on the ramp. I've heard of this homebuilt personal jet, but never actually seen one until today! |
 |
| Face-to-face with the ViperJet. Made entirely of composite materials, the ViperJet serves as a high performance sport and aerobatic personal jet that comes in kit form, with builders spending thousands of hours building at six-figure prices. |
 |
| As of 2006, 21 ViperJet kits have been sold and little to no information or updates have come since then. |
 |
| Cessna 172M Skyhawk (N515ED), the plane we flew in on. |
 |
| Cessna 150E (N3069J) parked on the ramp. I don't think I've seen a 150 with the original square tail before! |
 |
| Cessna 210D Centurion (N3960Y) parked on the ramp. |
 |
| Piper PA-28-180 Cherokee (N7272W) parked on the ramp. |
