Portland City/Columbia Gorge with Aru, Lewis, and Nigel

Aru was visiting the Portland area after being gone for a couple years, so I took him flying with Lewis and Nigel.  We flew from Troutdale airport over Portland airport to do a fly over of Portland city.  After making our way around we flew eastward over Mt. Tabor up through the Columbia Gorge up to the Bridge of the Gods.  Good times were had for sure!  The weather was said to be cloudy but we lucked out and had a sunny flight with temperatures in the 70s.

 

Here’s our track:
