Earlier today I noticed a jumbo jet that appeared to be circling over the downtown area. Does anyone know what is going on?

Phil Knight's jet is smaller and uses Hillsboro Airport. I can't imagine that the Duck's team plane is just arriving and, in any case, its destination is Eugene.

What flight in & out of PDX is that large?

If the plane was circling he may have just been stuck in the traffic pattern awaiting his turn to land.

It's for the flyover at the auto races at P.I.R.

I now understand that it was a USAFs fuel tanker for a planned fly-by of the auto races. I wonder where that plane eventually landed...
