Columbia River Bar Pilots do an incredible job protecting our environment and ensuring the safety of ships, crew and cargo since 1846. We're glad they get to enjoy some sunshine today. | Street 14 Café

Columbia River Bar Pilots History
When I was visiting Columbia River Bar Pilots and their AW109SP for Leonardo Helicopters and Vertical Magazine I had the opportunity to shoot a night pilot vessel transfer (pick up). Figured it would be worthwhile to set up a GoPro in the cockpit to capture a timelapse, which I think turned out pretty cool! | Lloyd H Photography
