Boeing jets are grounded once again.

The Max 9's all being checked out after a panel of a 737 Max 9 jet blew out during an Alaska Airlines flight out of PDX in Portland.

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating, along with the FAA.

There have been hundreds of flight cancellations and delays at airports across the country because of that and wild weather.

Now, the Boeing situation was top of mind for some people flying out of SeaTac near Seattle this week.

I was, you know, kind of watching and looking up and making sure, I mean, you know, flying Alaska and the door falling off and, you know, that kind of stuff.

You know, I'm just living in the moment, so I'm not worried about anything.

My daughter's worried, but I'm not worried.

To me, I feel even safer because I feel they have done the complete check up of everything, not wanting it to happen again.

Now, an across the board plan for taking care of old growth forests is in the works.

In the face of things like climate change.

The Northwest has actually had a plan in place for decades.

And how about some pinball wizardry?

The pastime from a bygone era making a comeback.

There was a guy, a teenager at the time.

I walked up and I watched him play pinball.

That's when I saw him catching the ball and aiming for the ball.

And I was like, You can do that?!

It just changed...

It blew my mind.

And he said, okay, you do it.

That was it.

I was hooked.

The Hillsboro Pinball Museum says Washington and Oregon boast the most pinball machines per capita in the country.

That full story with pictures, a really cool video and links is on our Web site.
