That Q 400 flew over our house! Pointed it out to the wife that he was traveling in an unauthorized direction based on the Auburn tower traffic that was coming in.
He must of flown over the town of Sumner before turning back to Puget Sound.
Either that or it was another Q400 trying to start clear of the traffic pattern at Sea Tac.

Wasn't it just last week they were talking about reducing TSA presence in the smaller airports.

Welp, flying just got more restrictive.

Wonder what they'll be looking for?

Ignition keys?

Now I'm sure that was the plane.
It was about this low (photo below, not mine) and based on the flight path, it went over the East side of Lake Tapps before turning south west.
The plane was low enough for wife to comment "What kind of plane is that?" as we sat outside enjoying a glass of wine. I told her it was an Alaska Q400 with "no visible means of support" (mean short stubby wings)

Better them shitting their bed than on the street.

My father flew B-26's, and they called it the "flying prostitute". "No visible means of support". icon_eek

If they shot it down with guns you'd have heard more than a bang. Possibly a missile but I doubt it. I think the guy just crashed.


No missiles. There would have been a visible contrail, smoke ball/burning debris in the sky and a heck of a damage trail.

No guns, either. It would have been VERY audible, and someone would have been moaning about 30mm brass falling all over their nice clean lawn area.

Naw...dumdum just pranged it.

Yep, same reference but wife wouldn't get that joke so I just said no visible means of support. :)

Any crash you can walk away from is a good landing....oh wait!

That’s how you go out with a bang. Shoulda done it during seafair that would be awesome to see.

I bet Alaska and Horizon goes back on the log books and inspects anything he touched on previous planes when he was on shift.
