Bicycle ride to Portland Airport #KPDX today: Boeing-owned 787-9 flying from Everett #KPAE for the paint hangar. A mystery is why a 787 came from Everett, since they're all built in Charleston #KCHS for years now. My hunch is a Chinese order (CN reg on ADS-B) was declined due to US trade conflict, stored at PAE. Maybe it has a new buyer or China changed an order. Test pilots doing their stuff, it landed with RAT deployed. First time I've seen that. #aviation #business #travel #avgeek #PNW
