136 Airports Down using OurAirports
136 Airports Down…only 55,092 to go! I’m excited to share that I’ve got 136 airports down over my last 10+ years of traveling! A lot of those are small airports that I’ve flown into as a pilot usually in a Cessna 172! I’m stoked for so many more to see around the globe!
Journey To Hong Kong: Part I

PDX-SFO Using Avios
