I wonder even how they managed to run into a building...

Video from my bike ride this evening: United Airlines Flight 2264, a Boeing 737 MAX8, coming from Washington Dulles #KIAD and landing at Portland Int'l #KPDX on Runway 10L. This was taken from the Marine Drive path on top of the Columbia River levee, about 10 minutes after sunset. Zooming out at landing, snow-capped Mt Hood is visible in the distance. #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW

Can anybody help me understand why #UA3892 has a scheduled flight from #KIAD...*to* KIAD? It arrived yesterday from Dublin so it wasn't an about or anything.

I have always been a window-seat guy on planes, and one of my favorite pursuits from that perspective has been establishing our location from what I see below, without waiting for my phone to get a GPS fix.

And one of my favorite times to play that game is on my way home from Europe. Where eastbound transatlantic flights can be annoyingly short for sleep, especially if goosed along by a strong jet-stream tailwind, westbound flights fly against headwinds and take at least an hour longer, making for an extremely long day.

So sights that tell me I’m getting closer to home–most of the time, that means a landing at Dulles–are always welcome.

They start with landfall somewhere over Canada’s Maritimes, but it will take hours longer before I spot places I know well enough to eyeball from the air. Some flights will put Boston in view out the right, while on others will treat me to a distant view of NYC or a northerly stretch of the Hudson River. But the waypoint I can expect to spot most often on my way to IAD is a much smaller city: Harrisburg, Penn., about 94 miles out.

That’s not because I know the skyline of Pennsylvania’s capital, but because it is easy to spot America’s most notorious nuclear power plant. Three Mile Island’s cooling towers sit right on the Susquehanna River east of the city, and looking up from them to all of Harrisburg’s bridges establishes my position.

And from that point, there isn’t much flying left. After a look at one or two of the closest ski areas to D.C. in Pennsylvania, the rural areas of Frederick and Montgomery Counties in Maryland pass under the wing, followed on the Virginia side of the Potomac by Loudoun County’s mix of suburban sprawl and data centers. But this approach path also treats me to the sight before touchdown of two things I like very much about that part of Northern Virginia: the Washington & Old Dominion trail and Metro’s Silver Line. And knowing I have a one-seat ride home on the latter makes touching down at Dulles even more welcome these days.
