DISCLAIMER: I actually filmed this in August of 2022 but never got around to editing it, so if the Alaska Airbuses or Horizon Dash 8s seem jarring, that's why lol. I've been wanting to post this still since the viewpoints you get here at PDX are fantastic, and it seemed like a good time to post it after the Hawaiian HNL-PDX trip report. Hope you all enjoy!
As a Portland native and av-geek, this airport has been always been a fun experience, from the carpet, to the shops, to all the PNW deco. The airport also has cool spots to view planes from, whether that be passenger aircrafts, cargo aircrafts, and fighter jets from the 142nd wing. I love PDX!
That’s a lot of cargo action! At first I thought this was all filmed in the span of an hour, I was thinking I didnt realize Portland was such a busy hub 😂 Thanks for the vid, great stuff!
I’m from Portland and it his really cool to see mount hood while taking off. I flew on British airways to London and Delta to Amsterdam and the sunset is beautiful
I just ran across your video. it brought back some old good memories. its been years since I and my girlfriend was at pdx plane watching. there use to be a nice parking lot on the side of marine drive where everyone would park to watch planes land and depart but since 9/11 everything was blocked so theres nowhere to park along marine drive anymore.
Take it from a Portland native. Portland has a decent variate of aircraft and airlines such as American Airlines, Alaska, delta, Dhl, FedEx,ups, Cathey pacific, British airways, condor, Iceland air, and the occasional exotic 777 or 787 from airlines such as emirates, Ana, Vietnam, or Oman.
hey where were you spotting from? I really want to get into plane spotting and I can only visit kpdx. I tried the short term parking but you cant actually see landings from there.
God I wish Alaska kept the Dash 8's for longer... There's one parked at Hillsboro Airport that I taxi by all the time while with my flight instructor. It's sad to see such an awesome plane be left to rot.
GREAT Video ALEX...couple things I noticed ... no CDN Airlines seem to fly into PORTLAND (just goes to show how poorly our system is up here) . Second , it would be nice to see the CDN GREEDY Airlines pop a College / University team logo on the planes ... the YANKS definitely get it when it comes to marketing and advertising . Cheers from YEG
What a dreadful flight it would be to take that BA DreamLiner from a cold and dreary LHR to a cold and dreary PDX! Great collection of aircraft, many beautiful shots.

It seems like Alaska also had a bunch of A321neos which they retired as well? What a bunch of weirdos but I‘m sure they had their reasons
Was wondering that
I was wondering that 😅
Oh ok thanks because I was going to say Alaska airlines retired the Dash 8s a year ago same as the a320/21

Same
its nice to see someone actually cares about Portland OR
PDX is a cool airport. The view of Mt. Hood was especially cool.
Don’t care what anyone says. The MD-11 (esp. in UPS colours) is a beautiful beast of an airplane. 🤎👍🏼
The MD-11 is my fav airplane.

I was there during that day when the Thunderbirds arrived! It was an excellent day for spotting. Beautiful spotting 🔥
The 757 is such a gorgeous airplane.

Unreal footage! I love your stuff! Cannot wait to spot at PDX end of the month!!
Such a great video especially living on just the other side of the river. Big thumbs up. All your videos on aviation are great
Nice one Alex I love seeing these videos keep up the great work😊

We need the return leg of the A340 video ASAP!!😊
Not quite the return leg but next week!
Fighter jet landing ❤
Awesome Video my Favorite was the C17 !!!!!!!!
Nice shots! Are these from the parking garage?
Best airport ever!!! Loved this! I missed it by two days (Hawn Air to Hnl)❤
I love plane spotting in PDX!
Where were you placed because I'm also gonna go plane spotting soon at PDX.
Cool Video!
Next video you should review Warsaw Radom Airport (they just built it and opened it!)
Great video from my home airport! 😊
Would you consider plane spotting in Winnipeg? There's a decent variety of traffic there.
this is my home town airport i did not know such big planes land there wow!

That FedEX Cessna 208 didn't have any flaps out. High speed landing.
Great video!!!
Do you know where this spot is, I’m going to go plane spotting later this week and needed a good spot at PDX.
Love it here in the pnw
hey where were you spotting from? I really want to get into plane spotting and I can only visit kpdx. I tried the short term parking but you cant actually see landings from there.
Where were you filming from at PDX?
I would asume the top of the main parking garage
God I wish Alaska kept the Dash 8's for longer... There's one parked at Hillsboro Airport that I taxi by all the time while with my flight instructor. It's sad to see such an awesome plane be left to rot.
CargoLux 747-400 just landed at Calgary International
MD-11 is BAD ASS 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You should also add the age of the planes to the description.

this is pretty cool, I am the first person to comment on this video
Also that 747-8F from Cathay Pacific was absolutly incredible
What a dreadful flight it would be to take that BA DreamLiner from a cold and dreary LHR to a cold and dreary PDX! Great collection of aircraft, many beautiful shots.
Cold and dreary is good! Seasons are important to have
Reinger Mountains
That font on the OSU Dash-8 is awful. It looks like they're called the BERVERS.
Bruen Vista
Myrtie Ports
Enoch Row
I live in Portland lol
