Takeoff from PDX!
Brief Cruise with a fantastic view of Mt. Rainier
Man… those winds were something else!!
Touchdown at RWY 16C at Seattle!

Nice pics. Reminded me of the extreme turbulence above Seattle when I was doing YVR to LAX XD.
Not just Seattle, the wind in southeastern Washington is wild here! It’s topping out around 55 mph!

At least there’s not as many trees in southeastern Washington I’m fearing for my life I’m gonna get crushed 😭

I always forget that I can go around, nice decision!
How is this disappointing…
@RedWolf to be fair, there were variable winds going wild and in many different directions pushing me down and sideways all the time.
