Ian Kluft ✈️🎈🌋Video from this evening's bike ride: Frontier Airlines A320neo landing Runway 10R at Portland Int'l Airport PDX. This aircraft is N387FR. The animal on the tail, as Frontier does uniquely for each plane, is Joaquin the Kit Fox.🦊 <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cycling</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/KPDX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KPDX</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aviation</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/avgeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#avgeek</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/Portland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portland</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/PNW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PNW</a>

Ian Kluft ✈️🎈🌋An interesting view on this evening's bike ride... parallel contrails! That was neat. It may at first look like airliners were flying in formation. What actually happened was they flew at roughly equal intervals on an airway between Portland & Seattle, likely sequenced on approaches to SEA. In between each plane's pass on the airway, the wind blew the previous contrails east (to the right in these views looking north.) <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cycling</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weather</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/KPDX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KPDX</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aviation</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/avgeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#avgeek</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/Portland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portland</a> <a href="https://avgeek.social/tags/PNW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PNW</a>

Ian Kluft ✈️🎈🌋I rode out to PDX Airport at sunset today. I bicycled a bit farther on the Columbia River trail, with the segment between Broughton Beach and 33rd Ave being new to me.
