Yesterday at PDX: with different liveries and aircraft types, these four planes may not look like they're all with the same company. But they are. No big surprise since PDX is an Alaska hub. Listed from near to far:
* Horizon Air retro livery E175 N652MK
* Alaska Airlines 737-900ER N288AK
* Hawaiian Airlines A321neo N215HA
* Prime Air A330-300F N4787K (operated by Alaska Airlines)

At PDX, every day is an air show, but some more than others... US Navy Blue Angels returning to Portland #KPDX on Friday after performing at the Oregon International Airshow in McMinnville #KMMV. This was an overhead pass with air show smoke on and then breaking formation for single-file traffic pattern for landing. #military #aviation #avgeek

On Friday (yesterday) I went to Portland Airport to see the Blue Angels depart to and return from McMinnville Oregon #KMMV for their performance at the Oregon International Airshow. They park at the Portland Air National Guard Base at #KPDX. Here's a still photo of the leading four F/A-18s lined up for takeoff on PDX Runway 28L. #military #aviation #avgeek

Spotted on approach to Portland International Airport #KPDX: US Navy Blue Angels arriving from Anchorage, Alaska. They will be based at the Portland Air National Guard Base at PDX while performing at the Oregon Int'l Airshow in McMinnville #KMMV this Fri/Sat/Sun. I didn't have warning that they were coming but got the last few as they turned from downwind to final nearly over my place. #military #aviation #avgeek #Portland #Oregon #PNW

Continuing my thread on comings & goings of the Boeing Portland Paint Hangar, today I got pictures of a green #UnpaintedAirplane 737 MAX9 flying as BOE974 on its first flight out of the Boeing 737 factory in Renton #KRNT. The pre-painted rudder indicates this plane will go to United Airlines. ADS-B telemetry indicated it will be N27474. It's seen here on approach to Portland #KPDX Runway 28L under smoky skies with ~5mi/8km visibility. #PicklePlane #aviation #business #avgeek #PNW

Smoke has affected visibility in Portland since winds turned from the east on Monday. These two planes were each a mile away on approach to Portland #KPDX Runway 28L.
* SkyWest/Alaska 3041, Embraer E175 N413SY coming from Eugene EUG
* Alaska 712, Boeing 737-800 N537AS in Pixar Pier special livery coming from Santa Ana/Orange County SNAThese hazy pictures should have been clear with SLR camera optics. Visibility was ~3mi/5km. #ORfires #WAfires #ORwx #WAwx #aviation #avgeek #PNW

Over the weekend, I got a look at the construction site at PDX Airport for Alaska Airlines' upcoming widebody maintenance hangar, which will be wide enough for 2x787/A330 or 3x737/A321. Some city permits are still under review. So other than some equipment for clearing the property, they're waiting on approval to begin construction. Since Alaska acquired its widebody fleet from Hawaiian, their only current widebody hangar is in Honolulu. #Alaska787 #KPDX #aviation #avgeek #business #PNW

Video: brand new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner arriving at #KPDX from #KCHS factory today for paint. The vertical stabilizer, not just rudder, is already partly painted with flower petals of the China Airlines (Taiwan) livery. Avgeeks following 787 production determined this is Line Number 1314 (LN1314). It flew as BOE759. PDX was reporting 8mi visibility in smoke at the time. One just like this came in May and was at the Boeing Portland Paint Hangar for 15 days. #aviation #business #travel #avgeek

Spotted on approach to Portland #KPDX: brand new green #UnpaintedAirplane 737 MAX9 on its first flight, flying as BOE972. The pre-painted rudder and ADS-B telemetry indicated the customer for this plane is United Airlines. The manufacturer-temporary registration N4022H is visible. ADS-B data indicated it will be painted N37472. After landing it taxied to the Boeing Portland Paint Hangar. #PicklePlane #aviation #business #travel #avgeek

Trying to figure out what's going on with a flight diverting to PDX. @JetTip alerted on American 1355, an Airbus A321neo scheduled Dallas #KDFW - Anchorage #PANC, diverting to Portland #KPDX. After flying around some thunderstorms in Colorado, it changed to diverting to Portland, and descended to 12,000ft. In a depressurization, they'd go to 10,000ft. Now flying some racetrack patterns, possibly burning off fuel to maximum landing weight. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N431AN/history/20260724/1948Z/KDFW/KPDX #aviation #travel #avgeek

Here are pictures of Boeing 777-9 prototype #2 N779XX flying as BOE002 on its second pass by PDX on a test flight today, doing a touch & go. I'm guessing this probably had an FAA inspector/pilot at the controls due to the late stage of type certification flight testing in progress. This time there was no way for @JetTip to alert me because its flight plan is BFI-BFI. Luckily, I spotted it coming on the Boeing test flights display on my wall monitor at home. #KPDX #B779 #aviation #avgeek #PNW

We had a surprise visit in Portland from Boeing 777-9 prototype #2 N779XX flying as BOE002 (radio callsign "Boeing Zero Zero Two Heavy"). It did a missed approach and then came back for a touch and go, both on Runway 28R. Pics from the first pass here, second pass next post. This late in the type certification program, an FAA inspector/pilot was likely at the controls. #KPDX #B779 #aviation #avgeek #PNW

After a shift in winds, visibility improved at Medford #KMFR, Oregon and Allegiant 62 finished its route from PDX-MFR with one go-around and then a safe landing. Meanwhile northeast of Medford, the webcams at Crater Lake National Park also show some of that smoke. #KPDX #aviation #travel #avgeek #volcano #geology #PNW

Portland #KPDX seems to be the Pacific Northwest's universal flight diversion safe spot lately. Yesterday when thunderstorms popped up in Seattle #KSEA briefly blocking the final approach course, 8 flights diverted to PDX, as well as smaller numbers to Spokane, Bellingham and Pasco. Today, forest fire smoke has dropped Medford #KMFR to IFR conditions. An Allegiant A319 from Vegas to Medford is diverting to PDX. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/AAY62/history/20260717/1959Z/KLAS/KMFR #aviation #travel #avgeek #PNW

Spotted on approach to Portland #KPDX: Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner flying as BOE751, newly-painted at PDX in Lufthansa livery. It was returning to PDX from a test flight to Moses Lake, Washington. As long as it's in Portland it's getting pre-delivery work at the Boeing hangar. The manufacturer-temporary registration N2016H is visible in the photo. #aviation #business #travel #avgeek

Video: Condor A330-900neo taking off this afternoon from Runway 28L at Portland Int'l Airport #PDX / #KPDX headed for Frankfurt #FRA / #EDDF. Asking avgeeks what they think of Condor's striped livery ranges from beach towels to prison jumpsuits - but everyone has an opinion.
In the background: Oregon Air National Guard F-15E & F-15EX Eagles on the ramp. #aviation #travel #military #avgeek -
