washoutt,
Yes, I can imagine the laughter. Seattle to San Francisco looks quite doable on a map! However, Google Maps tells me you would have been driving for most of the weekend - 1600 miles, 26 hours there and back.
You are right - the nearest aircraft is H-NACT. The H quite threw me off. I didn't know what country it was. I'll tell you what I know in a separate post.
My video finally finished uploading and I've posted the link above.
