Holiday travelers at the Portland International Airport will see a lot of changes, both in the way that it looks and the things you can do while you're there. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we discuss all the new places to eat, shop and hang out at the newly renovated PDX. While travelers might be tempted to rush through the airport on their way to a flight, the new restaurants, shops and spaces at PDX make a great case for taking your time. And with some great dining and shopping options pre-security, the airport might be a good place to spend time even if you're not leaving town. Here are some highlights from this week's show: Pizza, donuts, pasta and the other new dining options. PDX is full of local shops that are great stops for those leaving or arriving.

Today's guest is Victoria Venturi, the founder and CEO of Paper Epiphanies, the coolest card store in the world. In less than a decade, Victoria has grown Paper Epiphanies from an idea into a global brand.  Paper Epiphanies, also affectionately called PiPH, opened its flagship concept store in 2021, and they are expanding into the aviation space. They opened their 1st airport boutique in the Portland International Airport earlier this year.  Prior to launching PiPH, Victoria was a marketing and publicity executive for over 10 years where she wrote and launched successful campaigns for agencies and television networks, and big brands, including Disney, Nickelodeon, Warner Brothers, American Idol, Glee, Hilton Hotels, and more.  Victoria attended Paper Camp way back in 2014, and she was a guest on the Proof of Product podcast for episode 19 which aired in 2017. In 2017, we caught up with what she was doing in the early days of her business, but it's been a minute. She's had a lot going on, and we had a lot to catch up on, so much so that I am breaking this interview into 2 parts.  Today is part 1, and Victoria is sharing how she moved from being a business that was driven 90% by wholesale revenue to a business driven by 90% retail revenue, and now how she's navigating her way back to finding that balance. Next week on episode 372, Victoria is going to share details about opening up her store in the Portland International Airport.  Today's episode is brought to you by our Is Wholesale Right for You private podcast!

Many architects agree that there are advantages to building in mass timber. Trees bind carbon, wooden buildings have shorter construction time, and timber offers superior insulation. So what's impeding the material's widespread adoption? In this episode we explore if mass timber can be a game changer for the industry. We speak with Andrew Waugh from Waugh Thistleton Architects, UK, whose projects have included Murray Grove, the world's first all- timber residential tower. Andrew is an architect specializing in mass timber, and is working on projects all over the world. We also talk to Dean Lewis, Director of Mass Timber and Prefabrication with Skanska in the USA. Dean is responsible for the company's work on prefabrication and mass timber projects across the USA, and he speaks warmly about our work on Portland International Airport's innovative curved timber roof using locally sourced materials .

*) Blinken in Tel Aviv as Gaza sees another night of Israeli terror US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has touched down in Tel Aviv amidst escalating tensions in the region. It comes as Israel intensifies its attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, sparking global concerns about the potential expansion of the conflict beyond Palestine. Despite expressing concern over the civilian casualties resulting from Israel's military actions, Washington, a key ally and arms supplier to Israel, has not called for a ceasefire in Gaza since October 7. The ongoing Israeli campaign in Gaza has left over 23,000 Palestinians dead, nearly 59,000 wounded and has devastated 60 percent of the enclave's homes and businesses. *) Israel's top court blocks foreign media from independently entering Gaza Israel's Supreme Court denied international media organisations' request for independent access to report from besieged Gaza. The Foreign Press Association, representing many media outlets in Israel and Palestine, urged Israeli authorities last month to allow journalists into the conflict-ridden enclave. The court, recognizing press freedom but citing wartime conditions, justified maintaining restrictions. It argued that journalists inside Gaza could jeopardise Israeli soldiers by revealing troop positions. This decision heightens concerns about media challenges in covering Gaza, underscoring ongoing complexities in accessing information in conflict zones. *) Gangs kill 17 across three villages in Nigeria Armed gang members have killed at least 17 people in attacks in northwestern Nigeria's Kaduna state. The gang members carried out attacks on three villages in Kauru district, according to reports. At least 17 people lost their lives and 58 people were kidnapped. Nigeria is confronting attacks from armed gangs and terrorist groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP, the West African branch of Daesh, in various parts of the country. *) Brazil's Lula vows 'no pardon' for January 8 rioters President Lula da Silva has pledged no pardon for the supporters of ex-president Jair Bolsonaro involved in last year's riots, as Brazil observed the anniversary of the attacks. Speaking at the main entry hall of Congress in Brasilia, one of the buildings targeted by far-right rioters, Lula emphasised the need to safeguard Brazil's democracy. The rioters vandalised the premises and called for military intervention to remove Lula. *) Boeing shares dive as regulators unveil inspection plan for grounded MAX jets Boeing shares tumbled on Monday following a mid-flight aeroplane panel failure, casting doubt on the company's efforts to restore its reputation. Over six percent decline in Boeing stock affected the Dow index, coinciding with US aviation authorities issuing inspection protocols for planes with configurations similar to the 737 MAX 9 involved in Friday's incident. Alaska Flight 1282, departing from Portland International Airport on Friday, experienced a pressurisation issue while gaining altitude, prompting concerns about the safety of Boeing's aircraft.

Aviation Specialist Linden Burns joins John to consider the implications of the incident when an unused emergency exit door blew out shortly after take-off from Portland International Airport.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today is a very different episode because we aren't covering an unidentified victim, but rather, a notorious criminal. Let's talk about DB Cooper. November 24th, 1971, was the night before Thanksgiving for us in the States. At the Portland International Airport in Oregon, a man purchased a one-way ticket to Seattle-Tacoma Airport for $20 in cash with the name Dan Cooper. The plane was Northwest Orient Airlines flight 305, a 727. This man was described as a middle-aged white male with a dark complexion. He had dark hair, brown eyes, and tan skin. The report of his height varies between 5'10 and 6'1 depending on the source. He was between 170 and 175 pounds and was wearing either a black or brown suit, a white shirt, brown shoes, black sunglasses, and a black trenchcoat. His luggage consisted of a brown paper bag and a briefcase. He had no accent to the people on the flight, which in the States, often indicates a West Coast accent. He later hijacked the plane and stole $200,000. He parachuted out of the plane and was never seen again. He is now one of the U.S.'s most notorious criminals.

A 44-year-old off-duty pilot was apprehended on more than 160 charges following his alleged attempt to disrupt the plane's engines midflight, raising genuine security concerns.  The incident unfolded on Sunday, October 22, aboard a Horizon Airlines flight operated by Alaska Airlines, en route from Everett, Washington, to San Francisco. Authorities received reports of a credible security threat involving an off-duty pilot occupying a flight deck jump seat.    Identified as Joseph Emerson by KOIN-TV, the off-duty pilot purportedly made an unsuccessful attempt to interfere with the engine's operation. The aircraft's captain and first officer successfully thwarted Emerson's efforts, and Alaska Airlines confirmed that the plane never lost engine power, with the crew securing the aircraft without any further incident.    To address the situation, air traffic control redirected the flight, leading to an emergency landing at Portland International Airport, where Emerson was apprehended. Multnomah County Jail records indicate that Emerson faces a total of 83 counts of attempted murder, 83 counts of reckless endangerment, and one count of endangering an aircraft.    Alaska Airlines reassured passengers that they were accommodated on a subsequent flight without any disruptions.

Thousands of Israelis took to the streets this weekend, with many gathering in a wealthy section of Jerusalem outside the home of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. We hear about how calls for Netanyahu's resignation might impact the course of the war with Gaza. And, Spain's socialists seem to be ready to form a coalition government after inconclusive elections in July. But to do so, they've had to promise to grant amnesty to fugitive Catalan separatists for their attempt to break away from Spain in 2017. Also, Boeing, the Portland International Airport, and some of the cheapest electricity in America all depend on harnessing the power of the Columbia River. That river is once again the focus of negotiations as Canada and the US work to revamp the treaty that governs how Canada manages the dams on its portion of it.

This week, we're exploring buildings that are biophilic, climate resilient, and set the gold standard for net positive, responsible design. Specifically, we'll dive deep into two projects by ZGF Architects, an industry leader in sustainable and regenerative design: Portland's PAE Building, the first developer-driven Living Building,  and the very biophilic expansion of the main terminal at Portland International Airport. Our guest today is Kathy Berg, a partner with ZGF, who worked closely on both projects. In this episode, we chat with Kahty about bringing nature into the built environment, designing buildings meant to last into the distant future, and the amazing technology that supports climate resilience. Show NotesZGF ArchitectsAbout Kathy BergPAE Engineers, The PAE Living BuildingPort of Portland, PDX Airport Main Terminal ExpansionFollow ZGF Architects on Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTubeKey Words: Biophilia, Biophilic Design, Biophilic Architecture, Architecture, Living Building, Living Building Challenge, Sustainability, Climate Resilience, Green Building, Built Environment, Nature, Nature Based Solutions 

It was November 24th, 1971, the day before Thanksgiving and historically the busiest day for travel in the United States. A tall man dressed in a business suit and a thin black tie approached the flight counter of Northwest Orient Airlines at the Portland International Airport and requested a one way ticket to Seattle. This man gave his name as Dan Cooper and he paid twenty dollars in cash for his ticket on Flight 305, which he boarded with 35 other passengers. Cooper took his seat all the way at the back of the plane, he ordered a bourbon and 7-UP, and then he settled in for the short 30 minute flight which was scheduled to take off from Portland, Oregon on time at 2:50 PM, Pacific Standard Time. None of the other passengers, or the six members of the flight crew, noticed anything suspicious about this nondescript business man, traveling with a briefcase and paper bag, sitting quietly by himself in seat 18-E, but that would change shortly after takeoff, when this quiet and polite man notified flight attendant Florence Schaffner that he had a bomb, and he was hijacking the plane. Cooper wanted 200 thousand dollars and four parachutes, and somewhere between Seattle Washington and Reno Nevada, this man dressed in a suit and loafers leaped from a Boeing 727 into a dark and stormy night and was never seen again.

History's only unsolved hijacking drama started at Portland International Airport when a nondescript man calling himself 'Dan Cooper' stepped aboard a Boeing 727 bound for Seattle. (Part 1 of a 4-part series) (Portland, Multnomah County; 1970s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1306a-db-cooper-part-1-the-skyjacking.html)

The new Salt Lake City International airport provides the closest gateway in the world to such a diversity of skiing and riding. Opened in September 2020, the new SLC is one of the world's most innovative and eco-friendly airports, providing a welcome mat for upwards of 30,000 passengers a day. Last Chair sat down with Executive Director Bill Wyatt to learn more about why SLC is turning heads with visitors from around the world.Wyatt, who grew up in Oregon where he ran the Portland International Airport and the city's maritime port, thought he was retiring in 2017. But a few days later, he took a recruiter's call and landed in Salt Lake City. Taking over the construction project, he saw it to conclusion then shepherded the airport through the pandemic, ultimately saving two years and hundreds of millions of dollars in cost savings through an ingenious plan that took advantage of low passenger counts in 2020.Our Last Chair interview with Wyatt took place in the airport's bustling Central Plaza, just inside security and in the midst of Utah restaurants such as Market Street Grill and Roosters. The affable Wyatt was quite at home, excitedly talking about the airport and the role it plays welcoming thousands of visitors each day.Here's a sample of Last Chair's episode 6 with airport leader Bill Wyatt. Listen in to learn more in what was a fun conversation that showcases the welcoming atmosphere at the new SLC.Bill, to start, give us a sense of perspective of the Salt Lake City Airport?We're 20th largest in the country and that is largely because we're a Delta hub – 70% of their traffic connects through Salt Lake. Without being a connecting hub, we would probably have 45 or so nonstop flights. Today, I think we have about 95. During the pandemic, obviously not something any of us ever anticipated, Salt Lake was one of the fastest to return to service. And today I think we stand as the most recovered airport in the country in terms of airplane seats in the market. And that has a lot to do with why we're here talking. During the pandemic, there was a point at which people just said, ‘you know what, I'm getting out of my basement. I'm going to go somewhere.' They weren't going to go to New York City. They weren't going to Disneyland. But they did come to Salt Lake because they could go skiing or they could go to the national parks or up into the desert. And we're continuing to see very strong volumes for all of that.On that note, just how did the pandemic impact traffic at SLC?I always look at how many people are going to arrive at the front door, because that's where you really have to pay attention. And a big day for us is 30,000 people. And that February (2020), I think we had two or three of those days. In late March (2020), I remember standing on the sky bridge to my office, which was above Terminal A, for 10 minutes and not seeing a single passenger. And we were at that point about five months from opening (the new airport). So it was obviously concerning. Tom Kelly: [00:09:19] We're going to talk a little bit more about the plan. And I know we'll dive back into some of the benefits that pandemic actually brought to your construction. But just to talk a little bit about the airport itself and maybe if you could elaborate on what your specific role is. I know that you oversee the whole thing, but what are some of the areas that are really big focal points for you in managing the Salt Lake City International Airport?Going back in time, why did Salt Lake City decide to invest in a new airport?The old airport was designed to handle about 10 million annual passengers and in its last full year of operation did just a little over 28. The old airport really couldn't handle much more. It certainly couldn't handle any more aircraft. It was old. It was not designed as a hub. I always hold up my hand when I talk about the old airport because that's what it looked like. You know, you had these five fingers or five concourses that were connected. And if there was a single aircraft movement in between any two of those fingers, everything else came to a stop. And so this airport is designed as a 21st century hub airport where no aircraft ever has to wait for another one to get out of its way, which has, by the way, enormous positive environmental benefits, because the old airport caused a lot of jet fuel to be burned unnecessarily because of that design feature.On that point, how important was sustainability in the new airport plan?The decision was made to go for gold LEED standard. The way that this was accomplished was a tremendous focus on energy efficiency. The little bag tugs that take the bags back and forth from the planes -- they're all electric now. They're not actually allowed to have internal combustion engines in the bag halls or underneath the building at all. Natural light harvesting – a tremendous amount of environmental automation that goes with the building we use today, less electricity in this building than we did in the old airport, which I think is a sign of the effort that was undertaken. Little things like free flowing dual taxi lanes in all directions means that planes are taxiing less on the ground and getting out of here quicker, which means a huge amount of carbon savings. So the day the new airport opened, I like to say, was probably the best day for air quality in this valley in a very, very long time.What are the key milestones coming up over the next few years?So the milestones that are in front of us, we recently completed one milestone, which is to allow for aircraft to taxi over the top of what we call the central tunnel. The next big milestone will occur in May when the first four gates on A Concourse East, which is currently under construction, open. The following November, all of the A concourse opens. And then the following fall, the central tunnel will open.  And it will significantly improve the customer experience. I am confident that we will begin construction of a 16 gate expansion (on Concourse B), something that was not really anticipated for several years, which will conclude in 2027. And that means in the space of seven years, Salt Lake will have gone from an airport that had 52 jet bridges to one with 94 jet bridges. And that growth is really a mirror reflection of what's been happening in the economy of this value, this valley to the ski industry, the tourism industry, just the tremendous growth that we all can see with our own eyes.What are some unique elements for skiers?The ski industry had a lot to do with various design elements of the airport. The bag belts where the agent puts your bag is a full foot wider than a conventional bag belt, and that is to accommodate oversized bags like skis, snowboards, golf clubs. When you are an arriving passenger, you go out into the bag hall to grab your bags and your ski bag is on a vertical carousel. So it's a lot easier to pick off. And I might say for those skiers who've had their four or five days of skiing and then are going home, we've we're making some adjustments here that I think are going to be tremendously well received. One, if you take a shuttle down from Park City, for example, and arrive at level one, which is the ground floor, you can get off there and go directly in and check in and then move through the checkpoint from level one itself. You don't have to go up three stories to do that. The other thing that Delta is going to do this season – I'm very excited for this – they're working with the resorts to allow customers to check their oversized bag at the resort. It'll be delivered sometime during the night to the airport, go through the bag check area, and the skier will see their bag when they arrive at their destination. What has made Utah special to you in the five years since you moved here?I'm always impressed by wherever I am – I can be down in southern Utah, I can be up north, I can be east of here. People are genuinely very nice. They they reach out, they're pleasant. A friend of mine said to me, when the pioneers first arrived in this valley, it wasn't entirely clear for about 20 years they were going to make it. You're going to make it if you put your arms around other people and help pull the wagon, so to speak. And I definitely have that feel here. It's very special.

Around 4pm on NOV 24th A man going by the name Dan Cooper walked into Portland International Airport. He purchased a one way ticket on NorthWest Orient Airlines Flight 305.  Seattle-Tacoma Airport, for $20. His seat was 18c, for the 4:35pm flight.  He was about to pull of the greatest hijacking of our time. He would from then on become….

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Commerce awarded a $41 million grant to the Oregon Mass Timber Coalition to spur the development of mass timber for use on affordable housing projects in the state. The federal dollars will also fund research into the acoustic and fire-resilience properties of mass timber at the University of Oregon and Oregon State University, which, along with the Port of Portland and several state agencies, are part of the coalition. Mass timber refers to wood products that are stacked on top of each other and pressed together to form panels or beams for use on large industrial and commercial buildings. The Portland International Airport's renovated main terminal features a nine-acre-long roof made of cross-laminated mass timber beams and panels. Mass timber is gaining in popularity in the construction industry because it is seen as being a more sustainable material than steel or concrete and can be engineered to be just as strong. But questions remain about the cost of mass timber, its long term sustainability and applications in different environments. Joining us now is George Berghorn, an assistant professor of construction management at Michigan State University, and the research director for Mass Timber@MSU.

On November 24, 1971, a man wearing a trench coat and sunglasses walked into Portland International Airport carrying a black attache case, walked up to the Northwest Orient Airlines counter and slapped down cash. He gave his name as Dan Cooper and purchased a flight to Seattle, leaving that afternoon. That day would go down in infamy, as the day "DB Cooper" hijacked a flight, demanded cash and a parachute, and bailed into the middle of nowhere, never to be seen again. On this week's episode we take a deep dive into the mystery of DB Cooper and evaluate what we do know about this fascinating and confusing case. Halee gets maybe a little too into it, and considers a life in the forest looking for evidence of DB's daring jump. Elise brings her back to reality with a delicious and dangerously easy to make sweet treat! Join us on this adventure, and let us know who you think the real Dan Cooper was! Happy Haunting!

When layers of wood are put together in a specific way—usually glued together—they make for a material that has the structural strength of steel. And, surprisingly, is fire-proof. We're not talking log cabins but a specific kind of wood material commonly known in architectural circles as mass timber. Portland International Airport's new main terminal is part of a race to build the biggest building out of this wonder material. But exactly how sustainable is it? Figuring out exactly where the wood comes from, how it is grown and harvested, and how the mass timber products are used and reused is vital for getting an accurate picture of a mass timber building's carbon footprint Jacob Dunn and Marty Brennan, both Associate principals at ZGF, are two of the designers behind that Portland Airport Building. And they have developed a tool called the UpStream Forestry Carbon & LCA Tool, in partnership with the University of Washington, to track the amount of carbon sequestered—or emitted—by mass timber. In this episode, Metropolis digital editor Ethan Tucker speaks with Jacob Dunn and Marty Brennan to learn more about their tool and why all wood buildings are not created equal.

Oregon's indoor mask mandate ends at 11:59pm on March 11. For the most part, businesses will have the option to stop requiring their customers to wear masks. There are exceptions for health care settings and public transportation, including the Portland International Airport, where masks will be required through at least April 18. We hear reflections from a number of business owners and an epidemiologist about what to expect as the state makes this change.Our guests are Jeri McMaster, founder and owner of the Chalk School of Movement and the Power Station gyms in Hood River; Washington County Chief Epidemiologist Kim Repp; Rum Club owner Michael Shea; Kama Simonds, the media relations manager for the Port of Portland; and Anne Barwick, president of Sheridan Fruit Company, a grocery store in SE Portland.

On November 24, 1971, the day before Thanksgiving, a man walks into the terminal at Portland International Airport. Giving his name as Dan Cooper, he pays with cash for a seat on a Northwest Orient Airlines Boeing 727 jet scheduled to make the quick flight from Portland up to Seattle.Thus begins one of the strangest and most fascinating crimes in American history, a crime that remains unsolved til this day.In this special edition of Reading the Globe, AudioHopper presents “The D.B. Cooper Mystery at 50.”Michael Washburn takes us deep into a true crime thriller in which a pseudonymous man extorted $200,000 in ransom and parachuted into thin air over southwestern Washington State. He was never conclusively spotted again, dead or alive. After interviewing nearly 1000 suspects over 30 years, the crime remains, according to New York magazine, “the only skyjacking in the world that has gone unsolved.”In this special feature featuring archival audio, much of the record is corrected, including the legend that “Cooper” left nothing behind. In fact, he did—his clip-on tie (and tie pin), among other items. The author also makes a powerful case that the skyjacker may have been Canadian.Was he eaten? Where's the parachute? How did a young boy find $3000 of the ransom money? Why are some of the possible subjects buying cars with cash and making death-bed confessions? What the hell happened?At 50, the case still fascinates all true-crime junkies. Washburn, an expert on the case, presents a reasoned analysis of every possible known subject and presents a compelling case for one of them being the skyjacker. It's the perfect holiday listen.

What will it take for Oregon to recover after a magnitude 9.0 Cascadia subduction zone earthquake? Among other things, it will need a major airport to receive the tons of relief supplies from around the world. Prof. Armin Stuedlein and a research team from Oregon State University conducted crucial testing that guided engineers with big plans to make sure one of the runways at Portland International Airport survives the shaking. engineering.oregonstate.edu/season-11-engineering-natural-disasters/saving-pdx-s11e5

On Thanksgiving Eve 1971, a man only identified as Dan Cooper boarded a flight to Seattle from Portland International Airport. Waiting for the flight to ascend over the Pacific Northwest, he hijacked Northwest Oriental's Boeing-727 and was able to ransom $200,000 from the airline. Soon after takeoff from Seattle, DB Cooper leapt from the plane...never to be seen again. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/deeploretv/support

Ah, looks as if you were able to transport the table safely across that rickety bridge and through the jungle, plus you got a decent conversation about Sorcerer out of it; no time to rest though. The hard-earned pesos in your pocket are burning a hole and that hole just so happens to be in the shape of the U.S. state known as Oregon. Touching down in the Portland International Airport, you overhear some fellow passengers talking about the local truffle market and their excitement for the tasty treats it produces. "You have to try the truffle aioli and dehydrated potato crisps at Zarbinsi!" one of them exclaims, a hint of authority in their voice, "It's honestly the best in town. They serve it with deconstructed corn on the cob, and a light drizzle of fermented wheat paste from a local farm a few miles out of the city." Everyone listening in the group nods in unison, but you're not in the group, so you are at liberty to roll your eyes. You're not interested in eating words, you want the real dirt! Just as you roll your eyes up, you catch a glimpse of a poster advertising truffle tours. It reads "Come forage for more knowledge with us! Get down and dirty with the pigs that find that the fungi everyone invites to the flavor party." Your curiosity is peaked, and you book yourself a tour into the Oregonian wilderness. "Stay close, everyone!" the tour guide implores, but there's no adventure in playing it safe (not for you, you maverick renegade), so you quietly slip out of the pack and wander toward a cabin in the distance. When you arrive, you hear the stillness of the forest, a soft stream of water in the distance, and you feel a pressure around you that's peaceful and somehow anxiety-inducing. The cabin door is open, a cast-iron pan props it, and from inside you hear a muffle of voices clearly trying to imitate someone, each saying "Where's my Truffle Pig?" You take a few cautious steps into the interior, round the first corner you see, and... it's the table. You could've sworn you left it in South America, but here it is. Oh, and John, Ryan, and Dixon are here too. Why not put down the novelty trowel the tour company gave you and have a seat at the table? You came looking for the real dirt, join us as we dig for it in Michael Sarnoski directorial debut: Pig. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/undergroundtablepodcast/message

(44:44) Beginning in the 70's and ending 2016 at the conclusion of the case, there are 60 volumes that measure 40 feet high when stacked and there have been no arrests and no evidence found. We discuss further. (47:17) We offer some in flight extra facts about the case. (48:18) Declassified Dave and Mystery Mike give us last call and deliver their final opinions on the DB Cooper heist.

We are about 2 percent, or 60,000 people, away from reaching the state's 70 percent threshold. That is, when 70 percent of the state's residents 16 and older have at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has said she will lift most statewide restrictions—including indoor capacity limits, mask mandates, and physical distancing requirements—and reopen the state's economy. Part of what's gotten us this close to that 70 percent figure: Oregon's mass vaccination sites at the Oregon Convention Center, the drive-thru sites at the Portland International Airport, and the Hillsboro Stadium. But with all three sites closing this month, what does that mean for the future of vaccinations in Oregon? What are the next steps? This week on Footnotes, the closure of Oregon's mass vaccination sites, the continued health equity and access issues facing our state, and the role community health clinics will play moving forward toward a post-pandemic future.GuestsMax Janasik, CEO of One Community HealthLorena Mosqueda, health and wellness director at Latino NetworkMara Gross, interim executive director at the Coalition of Community Health Clinics

The Port of Portland brings in nearly $6.5 billion a year to the region. Now, it’s looking to do some major overhauling through selling and repurposing properties to spread the wealth with people of color, the poor and marginalized. In this episode of Straight Talk, we look into how the Port plans to accomplish those goals. We also look at how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected Portland International Airport and what’s ahead for the Port. KGW’s Dan Haggerty fills in for Laural Porter

History's only unsolved hijacking drama started at Portland International Airport when a nondescript man calling himself 'Dan Cooper' stepped aboard a Boeing 727 bound for Seattle. (Part 1 of a 4-part series) (PDX, Multnomah County; 1971) (For text and pictures, see http://offbeatoregon.com/1306a-db-cooper-part-1-the-skyjacking.html)

According to the Transportation Security Administration, more people are choosing to travel on commercial airplanes now than they have over the past seven months. That's despite a recent spike in COVID-19 cases around the country. So, how safe is it to be on an airplane, or at an airport, right now? We get some answers to those questions, as the holiday season gets underway. Our guests are Dan Pippenger, chief operating officer for the Port of Portland, which operates the Portland International Airport and Richard Corsi, an indoor air expert and dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science at Portland State University.

On the afternoon of Thanksgiving eve, November 24, 1971, a smartly dressed man approached the flight counter for Northwest Orient Airlines at Portland International Airport and purchased a one-way ticket to Seattle.  The name he gave was "Dan Cooper" as he paid cash to board Flight 305, a short 30-minute trip that would turn into one of the longest criminal manhunts in modern history.  Once aboard, Cooper's requests to Flight Attendant Florence Schaffner were simple: a bourbon and soda, and a note to be delivered to the captain demanding $200,000 in cash and four parachutes.  To add emphasis to his order, Cooper briefly showed Schaffner what appeared to be a bomb in the black attaché case he carried with him.  Calm and polite throughout the ordeal, Cooper was now instructing the pilots to take him to Mexico City during the refueling stop in Seattle.  However, it was never his intention to go that far.  Cooper's additional demands were now that the Boeing 727 fly not higher than 10,000 feet, with the landing gear still deployed, the wing flaps lowered, the cabin depressurized, and at the lowest airspeed possible without stalling the aircraft.  Around 8:13 p.m., the aft airstairs of the jet deployed, and Cooper would leap into a cold rainstorm of a western Washington night and popular culture forever.  Due to a name mixup with an early suspect by a local news reporter, the public would also forever know "Dan Cooper" as "D. B. Cooper."  The mystery of Cooper's true identity and fate, along with the whereabouts of most of the ransom money, would launch a 45-year investigation by the FBI.  His piracy would become a legend and the only unsolved skyjacking case in the history of commercial aviation.

November 24, 1971.On the afternoon of November 24th, 1971, a man approached the flight counter of Northwest Orient Airlines at Portland International Airport. The middle-aged man wore a suit and had an attache case and referred to himself as “Dan Cooper”:The man boarded flight 305 and took his seat, 18C. Once the plane was in the air the man did something interesting: after ordering a bourbon and soda he passed the flight attendant a note. Assuming this to be a phone number the flight attendant ignored the note she was handed. Softly, the man leaned into the flight attendant and whispered…“Miss, you’d better look at that note, I have a bomb”Check out our socials for more updates!Twitter @MMMacabrePodInstagram: @mondaymorningmacabreFacebook @mondaymorningmacabreWebsite mondaymorningmacabre.comMusic by Kevin MacLeod ~ Moonlight Hall

He wore mirrored sunglasses. Aviators. With a black suit, a white shirt, a clip-on tie and loafers.It was the day before Thanksgiving in 1971.  The mystery man approached a ticket agent at Portland International Airport and paid cash for a one-way ticket to Seattle, signing his name Dan Cooper.Once he was on the plane, he took the middle seat in the last row.  It was a little after three o’clock, not quite happy hour, but Cooper ordered a drink from the stewardess, a bourbon and soda, while he was waiting for the flight to take off.  He took out a cigarette, and began to smoke. This was the 1970’s afterall.Then, just minutes later, he handed a note to the stewardess, who’d been seated just behind him in the crew quarters.  She thought he was trying to flirt with her.But, when she opened the paper she was shocked to read his demands. He said he had a bomb in his briefcase and that he wanted her to sit next to him.  Stunned, the stewardess did as he was told.  Cooper opened a cheap attache case.  Inside, she could see several red colored sticks and a mass of wires that just could have been a home-made bomb.Then, she was taking a note to the captain. Cooper was demanding four parachutes and $200,000.  He indicated he would only allow the plane to land and the passengers to leave safely once they had the money and the parachutes waiting on the tarmac.The plane circled over Seatac airport while the FBI contacted a local bank and a local parachuting school.  Once they had the items ready, the plane was cleared for landing.Cooper allowed all of the passengers to get off, but kept several crew members back and demanded they set a course for Mexico City.He told the crew to stay in the cockpit and not to come out, leaving Cooper alone in the main cabin.It was a long flight.  They would have to stop in Reno to refuel.  And when they did, they discovered Cooper and the cash had vanished.That was the last anyone saw of the only American hijacker who got away.After decades of investigations, considering more than 800 suspects, the question remains: What happened to D.B. Cooper?Could new scientific techniques help them finally solve this mystery?A team of Citizens Sleuths is now on the case, getting a first-hand look at the F.B.I.’s cache of evidence, debunking theories, and getting closer and closer to learning the truth…..

Special pre-show to LFC 29: A Midsummer Night's Dream event, live from the Portland International Airport

Live from Portland International Airport, it's a quick episode. Talking about this weekend, and more.

Homes playing the piano in PDX. Apparently he’s there daily.

On November 24th, 1971, an unidentified man hijacked a commercial airliner heading out of Portland International Airport in Portland, Oregon. According to reports, the man had checked in as "Dan Cooper" later referred to, by the press, as D.B. Cooper, and purchased a one way ticket to Seattle, Washington. After his list of demands had been met in Seattle, D.B. Cooper let the passengers go but kept the flight crew on board to make his way to Mexico. Somewhere between Washington and Reno, Nevada, Cooper parachuted out of the back of the Boeing 727, never to be seen again. The actual identity of D.B. Cooper has mystified the public for decades. To this day his remains have never been found. So who is D. B. Cooper? And will his true identity ever be revealed? Today on Lawyer 2 Lawyer, host Laurence Colletti, guest co-host Jared Correia, and special guest, attorney Mark Zaid, founding partner of Mark S. Zaid, PC., discuss the mystery behind D.B. Cooper. Mark speaks about representing the team of private investigators looking to unlock the mystery, and talk about how the notorious D.B. Cooper continues to be an intriguing figure to so many. Attorney Mark S. Zaid is founding partner of Mark S. Zaid, PC. Mark represents the 40 independent private investigators working on the D.B. Cooper case. Special thanks to our sponsors, Clio.

Portlanders love to love their airport. There's the Stumptown coffee, the Powell's bookstore, the local restaurants, and perhaps the most photographed carpet in the world. So what else could PDX put in front of passengers? While other airports add yoga rooms and rooftops pools in the quest to tempt travelers, PDX has welcomed an outpost of the iconic Hollywood Theater to be America's only airport cinema.On a typical January morning at the Portland International Airport, a not so typical passenger unloaded at the departure drop-off area.A team used a crane to transfer a 28-foot-long sign from a flatbed trailer to a set of wheels. Anyone who's driven down Portland's Sandy Boulevard would recognize it: it's styled after the Hollywood Theatre marquee. “I get goose bumps watching it roll in,” said Hollywood's executive director, Doug Whyte, in front of the Delta ticketing booth as the team pushed the sign past the Portland Roasting Company kiosk. “Usually things come in through the causeway, but it's too big, so we actually have to bring it in through the front door. And it has to go through TSA, so it should be an interesting day to say the least.”Since taking over in 2011, Whyte has overseen the transformation of the nonprofit theater into one of the leading art house cinemas in the country. Then he read an article about an Imax theater at the Hong Kong airport and saw an opportunity to reach a bigger audience: some 18 million pairs of eyes a year.“We approached the airport, and funny enough they had actually been thinking it would be cool to have a movie theater,” he said. “It was kismet. We worked it out so it could go under their public art program.”Read the full story: http://www.opb.org/radio/article/hollywood-theatre-opens-at-pdx-airport/

Hosts Jordan Michelman and Zachary Carlsen interview Nathanael May of Portland Roasting Co. in Portland, Oregon. They discuss Portland Roasting's future plans at the Portland International Airport and talk about the complexities of judging barista competitions.  The music in this episode is performed by Alan Adler, inventor of the Aeropress, playing on a wind instrument he made himself!

It was a typical overcast winter morning at Portland International Airport in Oregon, with ceilings running around 1,400 feet agl and reported tops at about 7,000 feet msl. Ground control had just rattled off our clearance to Rogue Valley International in Medford, Oregon, clearing us to 10,000 feet. There had been no pilot reports of icing. The briefing called for conditions to remain overcast with ceilings around 1,200 feet. Deteriorating conditions and possible snow were forecast for later in the day, but well after our estimated arrival time.

This week on Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider … it’s the most chaotic show we’ve ever done! Join us for chills, spills and special guest star Mike Russell! Eric was stranded at the airport, so we had Mike fill in while talking about “Paul” starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and the voice of Seth Rogen. While Mike liked it a little more than Jeff, the one thing that they both agreed on is that you should lower your expectations. Then Eric joined on a cell phone from Portland International Airport. Yes, the idea had its problems. Jeff talked about “Limitless” starring Bradley Cooper and what a nice surprise it was. After that is was all things SXSW. The boys quickly recapped their adventures at the film festival and the movies they saw. We’re continuing the QOTW “What movie alien would you want to land in your backyard and why?” For your chance to win a Blu-ray or DVD send us your answer to one of the following below. Thank you, and good day, sir.
