  3. Added context: Pendleton, #Oregon is on I-84 about half way between Portland (through the Cascade Range via the Columbia River Gorge) and Boise (over the Blue Mountains), 3+ hours either way. Also 1hr15 drive to Pasco WA Tri-Cities Airport #KPSC. Pendleton has not had passenger rail since Amtrak closed the Pioneer line in 1997. #KPDT airport maintains airline service only through federal Essential Air Service grants. #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW

  5. "Pendleton City Council recommends SkyWest Charter for airport service" by East Oregonian (Pendleton, #Oregon) - If US DoT Essential Air Service follows the local recommendation as expected, Boutique Air's 8-seat PC-12 turboprops will be replaced with SkyWest Airlines charter 30-seat CRJ200 jets on Portland #KPDX - Pendleton #KPDT route. Some locals objected that the larger planes require going through TSA checkpoint. eastoregonian.com/2026/02/03/p #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW
