Pictures from planespotting this afternoon from the Columbia River levee trail overlooking PDX Runway 28R. The airport was in single-runway operation due to a NOTAM-scheduled closure of 28L. #KPDX #aviation #avgeek #travel

As planned I biked to the Columbia River levee for planespotting when BOE751 arrived. I posted pics & video in my thread on comings & goings of the Boeing PDX paint hangar. Of course, when overlooking a runway, an #avgeek can't just watch one airplane. First I'll link to that thread from this one for the 787-9 arrival, then more pictures. https://avgeek.social/@ikluft/116610546910312007 #aviation #KPDX

View of Boeing Portland Paint Hangar from the Columbia River levee bike path: two 787-9 Dreamliners parked in front of the hangar, one newly-painted for Lufthansa and one behind it just arrived in LOT Polish Airlines livery but will be repainted for Lufthansa.
On the far right, a 737 MAX9 missing a door plug is N704AL from Alaska 1282 blowout. It has (so far) never left PDX since that day. Alaska returned it to Boeing ownership in exchange for a MAX10 order. #KPDX #aviation #travel #avgeek

Video of landing roll of a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner as Boeing 751 on Runway 28R at Portland International Airport #KPDX. It arrived wearing the livery of LOT Polish Airlines, but was an NTU (not taken up/cancelled order). This is line number LN1046 - it was parked at San Antonio Kelly Field #KSKF in Texas for over 2 years waiting for a buyer. It taxied to the Boeing Portland Paint Hangar, where it will be repainted for Lufthansa and start on interior rework. #aviation #travel #avgeek

Boeing is flying another 787-9 from San Antonio Kelly Field #KSKF to Portland #KPDX as BOE751. I don't know which plane this is. It's using the manufacturer temporary registration N879PK which was just released last month from an ex-LOT 787-9 repainted at PDX for Lufthansa with its new permanent German registration. Boeing stores not-taken-up (NTU) airframes at various bases where it has parking space, including SKF. Expect Runway 28R. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/BOE751/history/20260520/2000Z/KSKF/KPDX #aviation #business #travel #avgeek

After 15 days in the Boeing Portland Paint Hangar, the 3rd Boeing 787-9 (or any type 787) for China Airlines of Taiwan departed #KPDX as BOE758 for Kelly Field #KSKF in San Antonio, for either pre-delivery interior work or parking. I didn't have time to get to the airport - so these pictures are from home at a distance of 5 miles while taxiing and 8 miles on departure. It's just enough to confirm they actually did paint the plane while it was here. #aviation #travel #avgeek

I got pictures of a surprise visit by a USAF KC-46A (Boeing 767 tanker) flying as "Zephyr 51" on three approaches to Portland #KPDX. It did a touch & go or low pass each time, apparently looking for our rainy weather for training. It was progressively more rainy on each of the three approaches. The aircraft flew from Travis AFB in Fairfield CA and departed south. At first I thought it was coming for the Oregon International Airshow in Hillsboro - but apparently not. #military #aviation #avgeek

Portland International KPDX → Seattle–Tacoma International KSEA

A scenic route past the famous and jaw-dropping Mount St. Helens, all while keeping the equally legendary Mt. Rainier constantly in sight.

Time flew by way too fast, because the Lancair Evolution seems to be all about one thing: covering ground quickly.
