I am so excited about the Atlas Air planes! I live in Gresham under the flight path and I am always on the lookout for these big ones! 🤩🤩🤩

I hope Atlas Air continues sending these birds to PDX for refueling......

Hey there! ! I am also a planespotter and my home airport is Newark Liberty International Airport in the New York Metro Area! I am actually coming to the Northwestern UnitedStates on vacation next week and would love to planespot at Portland! I would appreciate it a lot if you can tell me the best spots to go to to planespot and what spots you use. Thank you! Btw, i heard the Sheraton Hotel Parking lot is a good area for 28R arrivals. Have you been to this spot before, and if so, does it cost money to park here. Also, how much does it cost to park at short term parking garage? And which runways is the most active for arrivals? Sorry for all the questions lol, I really want to have a good time at portland!

.skipped ahead after the Atlas 747 landing to the FedEx takeoff and then the Atlas departing., Just can't get excited about 737s, A320s, and RJs. having lived back in the "classic" era with the "big jets" like 707s, DC-8s, 747s, DC-10s and L1011s. We used to call the 737 the "Baby Boeing".

I totally agree yeah

[@trimbalemrbale575]

747, y u no turn right off of runway?

[@PortlandAviation]

There's a wingspan restriction for taxiway C between C6 and C8 so they have to go left
