My wife and I happened to be in Portland one day a few years ago on the way
home from the coast only to be met by crowds downtown, hanging out of
windows, crowding the bridges, everywhere there was a body. The city's
fleets of police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances looked to be on duty in
the downtown area. The weather was kind of misty and by 11am people were
saying it was getting close to the 1pm deadline. By 12:50pm the cloud
lifted. Across the top of a 20 storey downtown hotel was what looked like an
aircraft carrier's flat deck runway and at 12:55pm an early 1900's bi-plane
roared into life at full throttle, cleared the end of the runway high above
the crowded streets, and flew away towards the river. Some folks in the
crowd told us that it was feared that the flying machine would plunge into
the streets below ..... hence all the emergency vehicles.
Yes, Portland is really good for photo ops! ......... as well as having
possibly the biggest used book store in the Pacific northwest!
