PDX aviation day

Hello all! Today I went to a special event called aviation day at PDX! Here are some of my highlights from the day. I did a little bit of spotting too!

Here’s an Alaska 737-800 in the special Star Wars livery.

Here’s the cockpit of it.

I especially like your cockpit shots. Have to admit didn’t know the creature on the winglet, resulting in me learning: “Porgs were designed to disguise the plethora of puffins that called the filming location home.”

They fly to San Fran from PDX now didn’t know that

Very jealous that you have the opportunity to go to events like this, where I live there was once a WC-130J (96-5301) and a couple of helicopters I got to go inside of like 10 years ago, nothing like it ever happened again sadly.

Can’t wait til I hopefully visit some of these events in the US in July this summer.

I can recognize Marine Drive (Trail) plane spotting out of anywhere

Real trippy to see some of the exact same aircraft I saw IRL posted here by someone else

I’ll hopefully be going to the Farnborough air show soon. My first big airshow ever since I was 3. I can’t wait. Nice pictures and I hope you enjoyed PDX aviation day @Prestoni.
