"Have you thought about calling your travel blog 'Ben Lee and the Jets?'" - James M.

So I have a flying problem...I mean passion. I did 100+ flights annually for the last few years. However and in no small part due to a courageous young woman named Greta I’ve decided to re-evaluate my ways. In 2019 I’ve cut my flights by 40%. That’s still a lot, but I figured it is a good start.

Here some photos and random thoughts, mostly for myself. You can see my flight history here.

Pacific Northwest Visit: Charter airline, helos, seaplanes, new airport

September 13, 2019

Robin is visiting the US and asked me if I wanted to meet him up in Seattle. I decided to join him and crossed a few items off of my list

Paine Fieid, normally the airport for Boeing’s Everett factory, but newly opened to commercial service.
Helijet in Vancouver, to fly the Sikorsky S-76
Harbour Air Seaplanes, first time ever in a seaplane
JSX aka JetSuiteX, the hassle-free charter air service
