Spotting at Portland International Airport

[Andylong99]

Hey guys i have a question for u all Im thinking about traveling to California to see a Family member what would be the best way to approach that travel wise ????

[hunter53able]

when you live in a big city you see jets but when you live out here in the country you see small planes!

[Andylong99]

how do they do it?? i mean how can they fly when its either sunny or raining outside dont they ever get nervous about weather changes ?????

[bodkins01]

I really enjoyed the video with the sound switched OFF

why oh why add music??????

[zildjiandrummr12]

@bodkins01

Cause I wanted to. I have MANY videos without sound if you take a look.

[maza95]

oh wow, that was my day's laugh. oh and btw, can't i say my opinion without you starting to say what to write...

[maza95]

yeah, sure, can't take a negative feedback? so what? i don't care, not my problem... if you want to talk shit about me, how about you just expect that something will follow... typical teenager...

[maza95]

don't say ''lol'' in the beginning of a sentence, pfiscool, because it'll sound like you are 10.

Hi!! is Portland the Hub of HORIZON AIR?

[PlaneWatcherVinny]

This is probably the greatest video ever made. PDX is amazing. I loved the Alaska Airlines MD-80 at 1:51. Great work.

[JR120489]

Coming to visit portland in June, from London ^^ hope its not that wet when i come!

[allthatiswithinme]

I doubt it will be.

[miketim7]

portlands famous for being rainy its june and itss raining

[hawk4174]

Awesome video an a great song too go with.

[Jperson106]

Where did you shoot that from. I live near portland, and every time i try to get some good photos, I cant really get them well. I stand on the 7th level of the Short term garage.

[xxEVH5150xx]

I miss the AS MD-80!!! Bring them back!!!

[TheCoolPeopleDude]

I agree.

[xxEVH5150xx]

Yeah. It's really a shame. Alaska should have kept the MD-83's instead of the 737's. Then, maybe we would miss the 737's... Keep them both!

[xxEVH5150xx]

What kind of 757 was that at like 0:48.

[zildjiandrummr12]

A Northwest Airlines 757-200. It just has winglets on it. Winglets on 757s are becoming more popular.

[xxEVH5150xx]

Nice. I know the 757-200 is the only model, I just haven't seen them retrofitted.

[TheCoolPeopleDude]

It used to be better when the Boeing 757-200 didn't had winglets. I know that some of them still don't have them but, later on the winglets will become more popular. :(

[Davhid1]

Nice job!!! lol

[JabbleProductions]

was that a Q400 at 2:38. im pretty sure it was

[zildjiandrummr12]

Close but no cigar. That a Air Canada Jazz Dash-8Q300.

A Q300.

[metoobooflerman]

It's awesome how you ended the video with the huge Lufthansa Airbus A340-300 floating out of Portland, OR.

[maza95]

no offence, but the music is crap but the video is great

[Th32ick1]

Where did you go to record that? On top of the parking garage?

[zildjiandrummr12]

Yep

[Th32ick1]

ok, thanks

[sunll]

i live in troutdale and i cant drive :o im like 15-20 min away from the airport and dont have time >.>

[zildjiandrummr12]

I was talking about krispykreme, not you. :)

[sunll]

hmmm i wonder if any1 has a recording of air china cargo and korean air cargo

[krispykreme82603]

i have a recording of air china cargo on my computer, i havent thought about putting it on youtube tho

[zildjiandrummr12]

You should do it. lol

[sunll]

ahh i live in portland for 14 years and i only saw 3 747 couldent see cuz they flew over my school and 3 a340 are lufthansa hmm thats cool! i wonder if there any vid of 747 and a340 here in PDX?? on youtube

[krispykreme82603]

do you mean a video of both planes together or seperate? this video has two shots of an a340. as for a 747, i dont think theres one up on youtube. i have my own video i took of a 747 at portland, but i didnt put it up on youtube

[sunll]

both!

[krispykreme82603]

i dont think there is one...usually our cargo 747s leave during the night...keep searching tho

[sunll]

lol i live in troutdale so its really hard to see 747s cuz cargo over the pacafic ocean? lol i usally see boeing 737,757,767....ect and airbus ect... w/e

[krispykreme82603]

not really...i dont know their exact routes, but i know that one or both of the 747s arrives from los angeles and departs to anchorage

[krispykreme82603]

sunll 8 months ago you asked me if there was a video of a 747 and a340 together on one video at PDX, well today i remembered you asked that when an Air China Cargo 747 and a Lufthansa A340 were crossing eachother and i snapped a picture with both birds in it. if you want the pic ill send it to you...i have a really good memory haha

[sunll]

i never new that 747 and 340 could take off here in portland

[krispykreme82603]

o yea we can...PDX used to accomadate regular 747 flights constantly until for whatever reasons we got rid of them...and we have a daily flights from PDX to Frankfurt with a Lufthansa A340...and we still do cargo runs with Air China Cargo and Korean Air Cargo, both 747s

[zildjiandrummr12]

Dont forget the NWA A332

[krispykreme82603]

of course haha...and 2 Hawaiian air 767s daily...were not as small of an airport as everyone thinks

[xxEVH5150xx]

Exactly!

[xxEVH5150xx]

Too bad it's just Air China cargo now...

[Osprey886]

Nice vids and great song, liked the mad dogs and the Lufthansa A340 in the Star Alliance colors their towards the end.

[pdxvip2002]

I'm from Portland myself and am a total airplane junkie! Love the stuff!

[flytedceo]

[eddyhal]
