[4K] - Stunning Portland Landing - Delta Connection - Embraer ERJ-175 - PDX - N279SY - SCS Ep. 726

[@benschaeffer8102]

PDX has one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL approaches of any U.S. airport/city. ❤

[@RichardinNC1]

On my one flight into Portland, I had a stunning view of Mt Hood on a perfectly clear day. I just stared in awe and forgot to video it! I happened to visit Timberlake Lodge near its summit on that trip as well! I also visited Mt Saint Helens, a must do if in that area.

[@planelvr07]

Love the PNW! About 10 years ago I flew into Portland, it was one of those beautiful sunny days that was around 0 degrees. We had the most gorgeous views of Mt Adam's, Mt Ranier & Mt St Helens. As we neared Portland, it felt like you could touch Mt Hood. Unfortunately it didn't remain that clear as we headed towards San Jose. Love your videos!

[@sla31]

I'm glad you enjoy them my friend. You know, sometimes the weather just cooperates haha. This whole flight, I thought the mountains would be obscured because of the clouds. Turns out, they cleared away at the perfect moment.

[@sterlingstroebel]

"0 degrees"? I've lived here my whole life and have never seen temps that cold. Hell, we rarely even get snow. Portland is the warmest non-sunbelt major city in the US, hence the 18 ft tall palm tree in my front yard.🤷‍♂️

PDX was my home airport for 50 years now it’s CNX Thailand 🇹🇭

[@sla31]

I love PDX. Thailand sounds nice too haha. Thanks for watching!

[@markjanke6246]

Enjoyed the approach and landing. It's always a treat with nice visibility to fly in/ out of Portland. Great video!

[@sla31]

Couldn't agree more! I'm glad you enjoyed this one!

[@topgeardel]

Very nice shot of Mt. Hood !

[@sla31]

Great views of Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams also, for those reading this and wondering what the others were. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@pnwaviation5567]

Welcome to my hometown man! Enjoy your stay, great city.

[@sla31]

I really like PDX. I'd come through more often if there were more nonstop flights from where I live. But, Seattle gets most of those around here.

[@ultrametric9317]

Nice opening view of Mt. St. Helens!

[@sla31]

Sometimes the weather just works out. This whole flight, I thought it would be obscured because of the clouds. Turns out, they cleared away at the perfect moment.

[@ultrametric9317]

@@sla31 Also visible - Mt Rainier, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Hood at the end! Great!!

[@timotheus30]

just flew in and out of PDX a few weeks ago. the 28R approach is honestly the best! great vid

[@sla31]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bethv4348]

Absolutely breathtaking! Around the 3:40 mark, it looks like the sun’s rays are bouncing off the earth and shooting back up into the sky. Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@sla31]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a beautiful landing for sure!

[@ernestjohnson9464]

Cool videos 👍 sir!! Thank you!!

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend!

[@harryscvgspottingofficial]

Wonderful landing! Continue to keep it up! Great view of the mountain! Stunning work.

[@harrymallory7963]

Mt Hood is the largest plywood and aluminum structures in the United States. So life-like, it attracts many tourists from around the world!

[@sla31]

😂

[@tomw3473]

Let time I flew into PDX was from Anchorage about 2 weeks after 9/11. I'd been working the summer at Denali Nat'l Park

[@larrywilson7848]

nice landing approach, views and smooth landing.

[@gilliantracy7991]

Another fabulous video. I love following along on google maps to see the flight and approach paths! Thanks!

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@AZPapa25]

Another great video without too much wing!

[@sla31]

Glad you liked it! I do my best to have a variety of seat locations on the channel.

[@skysaviationandshorts]

Beautiful!

[@sla31]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@flaviusnita6008]

Neat and perfect!

[@sla31]

Glad you like it!

[@68dart]

Awesome , Thanks Skylite 😊

[@sla31]

No problem my friend. As always, thanks for watching!

[@scottbridge9391]

WOWOWOWOW!!! Great views of Mt. St. Helens!! Good views of the Columbia River and the Gorge. Good views of I-84. Good view of the IKEA. :) We've had a cold spring this year which is why everything looked so green. We're having a rare triple La Nina event, which may account for the terrific heat in Texas this month.

[@sla31]

I think the IKEA was the highlight for sure haha :D. I live north of Texas and we're getting this lovely heat wave too. 108 yesterday. 104 today. In fact, the next 8 days are all triple digit days. Good thing my AC is working haha.

[@scottbridge9391]

@@sla31 Yes, during La Ninas, there are extreme heat spells in the US interior during the summer. The big heat wave that hit Chicago in 1995, killing 1500 people, happened during a La Nina. For us in WA State, it means normal to being on the cool side in the summer, but colder and wetter than normal during the fall and winter and sometimes during the spring too. This La Nina is going on its 3rd year, which is extraordinary. If it continues, we could have a big arctic cold snap this fall. A La Nina is the opposite of an El Nino. When the Red Cross here hears that we're having a La Nina, they prepare themselves for heavy snowstorms. The biggest snowstorms here happened during La Ninas and so have the coldest winters on record.

[@Cerlxz]

Hello skylite so ummm one question do you like Delta airlines and two you're the best person ever and thank you for being kind

[@sla31]

Yes, I like Delta. They have some stuff that I think they could change to make their product better, but overall I like them. And I appreciate the kind words my friend. We're all a community here, and I do my best to reply to and engage with as many comments as possible.

[@GenAvAviation]

I really want to try an E-jet some day, they seem like very nice little aircraft to fly on (better than CRJ anyway) and the flying looks very smooth for their size. Great video as always

[@RS-pq5mo]

I've flown on the 175 and 190... they certainly have power to spare

[@sla31]

I love flying on ERJ's. They are way more comfortable than CRJ's. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@DTpdx1]

Gorgeous approach and beautiful lighting! Curious, was this a flight from Seattle, that seems the only time pdx bound flights go right over Mt St Helens. Thanks for sharing!

[@sla31]

Thanks for watching my friend! And yes, this was a flight inbound from SEA.

[@Aviationclips737]

In my opinion portland is the best airport in the USA. It was recently stripped of the being the best airport in the USA after the remodel of Indianapolis 😭

[@sla31]

It is a very nice airport. I never complain about having to go through PDX.

[@Aviationclips737]

@@sla31 Agreed!!! Please keep them portland flights coming!!! If you want a good flight from there maybe try the new British Airways to London Heathrow or Alaska/Hawaiian Airlines to Maui(OGG)

[@SL_60]

flying PHX-TPA on Friday - Southwest

[@sla31]

I'm flying TPA on Monday haha.

[@SL_60]

@@sla31 lol. im flying out next Saturday back home. hope i can catch you sometime 😀

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

Great fly! Are you guys dealing with heat with heat index value of more than 100F in your area?

[@sla31]

Yes. 108 yesterday, 104 today, 105 tomorrow, etc. We are in the middle of a 14 day stretch with triple digit temps. The first day below 100 isn't going to be Thursday the 28th at 96. We also haven't had any rain for nearly two months now. Living in a huge agriculture area that isn't irrigated because we typically get plenty of rain, it's been devastating to crops. You know all that inflation you've asked me about? Get ready for it to get worse. The farmers had their wheat burn up, then the corn grew but didn't produce any ears, and now the soy beans are being fried. I have a relative who farms and he's lost three crops in a row now. With a lot of the bread basket facing similar weather, food prices are going to continue to rise since so much of the crops are being lost.
