Yesterday landed at Portland !
I had to make a go-around because the silly FMC misscalculated the altitude and I was still at 2000' over the threshold. Also, there are a tons of small airfields around the town, so it was a nightmare to catch the appropriate tower frequency. I spotted an empty zone and parked there with the beast... checked that on Google Earth, and realized it is a military area of the airfield, actually I was sitting among a pack of F-15s, so do not look after me for some days
After landing I went out to check the racetrack near the airport while they pack out the staff
I really hated driving at Portland in IndyCar Racing, because it has repeating and changing radius curves, it is very challenging and I never find a good setup for my car. But it is so much fun watching a real race on TV, as the guys are struggling in the corners, and struggling with spin-offs because there are huge grass fields around the track without a wall. At some places it is just like rallying among the cows !
... err, and the airport lays at a lovely place too on the river bank
