There was no planned route this time. I got out in time to catch the British Airways 787 Dreamliner arriving from London. I got some pictures and video looking at Runway 28R arrivals and departures from the trail on the river levee. I tried the Mt Hood Ave overpass over Airport Way for the first time, and found it to be OK to ride by bike. Then from near Cascades Station mall, I got a video of a FedEx 767 freighter on short final to Runway 28L.
