Taking of in the cold early morning frost, I took my passengers on a quick trip from Portland-Troutdale to Eastern Oregon at Pendleton.  Here are my photos from the 18 minute trip.

Heading out to the aircraft after contacting FSS with my flight plan information, to begin the preflight.

Soon after take off, Mount Hood can be seen in the distance.

Following the Columbia River with the morning sun gleaming off the bosses toy.

Getting ready to start our decent into Pendleton.

Making turns to intercept the ILS.  It wasn't an IFR day, but you can never practice enough.

Image

Parked, take on some fuel and get the aircraft ready for our next destination.

Interesting.

Short runway for that.

Beautiful shot of Hood.

Although, I got my private at KTTD and there are no buildings like that unfortunately.

Are you from Oregon Codered?

I think the shortest runway I put this aircraft down on is less than 2000 feet.  It was an airport around Battleground.  I am lucky I didn't start a fire from the brakes overheating. ;D

Close, Washington... ;D
