@pdxaviationfan I know seatac has the demand, but will it always overshadow pdx - in portlands efforts to get more intl service?

[pdxaviationfan]

@dcinternationalist Yes, I would say Seattle will always overshadow PDX in terms of amount of service.

[dcinternationalist]

Why did Seattle get the perm ANA 787 service over PDX? The aircraft was meant for mid size cities like Portland. And seatac has plenty of service into Asia...

[pdxaviationfan]

@dcinternationalist Higher demand in Seattle.

[rocknroller92]

@dcinternationalist Yes I was wondering the same thing. PDX has hardly any service to Asia while SeaTac has a crap load. It just isn't fair lol

[pdxaviationfan]

@rocknroller92 I wish we had more than just Asiana and Delta.

[rocknroller92]

@pdxaviationfan Yes I do too!

[pdxaviationfan]

@rocknroller92 But we do get the 777's here for paint, so that is nice.

[rocknroller92]

@pdxaviationfan yeah thats better than nothing but i think it would be cooler if we had other international flights.

[pdxaviationfan]

@rocknroller92 Definitely.

I hope to see a 787 soon! Nice video!

[pdxaviationfan]

@AerospaceAirAviation Thanks!

I love the way the wings are bowed upwards, which I understand improves aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. It's a beautiful plane.

[pdxaviationfan]

@DrMarianus Definitely!

[pdxaviationfan]

@minitrundle Thanks!

Rolls Royce engine sure make cool sounds but I think the GEnx will preform much better with the 787.
