We were in Portland about three years ago for a convention at the
Governor. I always wanted to see the H-4, but it had already left Long
Beach by the time I got out there to visit friends. And we didn't have
any real reason to go all the way to McMinnville in the past... so we
came in a day early, rented a car and drove over. That was the main
reason - to see the H-4. The other planes were nice, yes. But I wanted
to sit in Hughes' seat.
However, Portland is a lovely city. We've decided that we'd like to go
back when we didn't have something else to do there.
