[wpvideo dzpQP7ZS] For a special treat this morning, Leah and I took a floatplane from Victoria to Seattle. It was amazing.
Flying Alaska 244 down to San Francisco for ONA tomorrow through Saturday. Cab to plane in twenty minutes, picked up a dirty chai, and first class bump to boot. I have perfected the art of flying. Knock on wood.

Night flight over Portland. PGE Park Jeld-Wen Field is in the mid right as a point of reference. Beautiful weather this evening — mostly calm, some small chops coming back over the West Hills. Ended up with five landings at Hillsboro, one at PDX, and a final at Twin Oaks. Total of 1.4 hours.
