aka "checkride prep flight number 5". Went down to McMinnville first, did several laps, a big rain cell was coming in, so left as it started to come over the town. Talked about going to Mulino but there was a bunch of rain to the east. So, went north and into Hillsboro. I'm not endorsed on the radio, so part of this edit is just to put together all of my radio calls. Thankfully it was a fairly quiet day- usually only one other person in the pattern- so the radio calls were straightforward.

0:00 and we are approaching Hillsboro airport, 31L, big jet, decent radio calls
1:08 change frequency and go to 31R
2:13 first HIO landing
2:58 it's funny to hear the tower telling someone to look out for ME
3:05 landing
3:48 landing
4:20 bald eagle goes in front of us
4:35 short field landing; I come in too slow
5:35 a better short field landing
5:53 go back to Twin Oaks
6:11 turning final at Twin Oaks. I'm really high, ready to go around, but the descent was okay.
6:36 short final, lots of weird wind. Watch the nose yawing around. Pretty full windsock over there.
