Hello and :welcome: from a neighbor just to the north of you up in Tornado-land, WA.
Glad you decided to join the group here at Elio Owners.
In your avatar; that was behind the Hilton Inn wasn't it? I was there on the first day they were there, not a bad turn out for kind of an impromptu "Show and Tell" event.
What part of Portland are you in?

Today I saw something very unexpected, a B-17 flew over the house on a course to the SE
Shortly after that an old Constellation flew over on the same course.
This isn't anything like I'm used to seeing fly over here; are they part of the Antique Air and Custom car show down at Hood River?
And does anyone have any information on that show? I heard it's supposed to be next weekend.

Perhaps part of the Confederate Air Force. They may have a show they were going to.

It looks like they were up in Seattle or Everett first; best guess would be from the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field since the flight path was SE.

But this is why I posted it in the Oregon thread; they were close to Portland when they flew over.

I'm across the river and 18 miles north in Battle Ground, WA; been here for a little over 10 years.
Prior to that was up in Federal Way & Kent, WA.
Ever since 1975 when I moved to the PNW I landed in Everett and just continue to move south since then.
