This was my second time flying with Envi and once again, WOW!!!!! What a perfect way to introduce my visiting niece (who'd never been to Oregon) to the wonders of our fair state. Our pilot Daniel was very personable and experienced and we really enjoyed seeing the original interior of the 1957 plane (to be remodeled, we were told).
We did the one-hour "Figure Eight" flight which took us east over the Columbia River, where we circled Beacon Rock and saw hikers climbing to the summit. Though we started with cloud cover, the sky cleared the farther east we went, and we were able to see ALL the mountains (Hood, Adams, St. Helens, even Ranier). It was neat to get a birds-eye view of Multnomah Falls as we headed west towards downtown. It was cool to listen to Daniel communicate with air traffic control at PDX as we banked over the runways. We saw the many downtown bridges, passed over the zoo and Forestry Center, and the Pittock Mansion, and Mt. Tabor in my old SE Portland 'hood.
This was my niece's favorite part of her visit and I agree. We highly recommend!!!!
