#OTD : 13 years ago on 12-15-09 the Boeing Airplanes 787-8 took to the skies for the very first time from Fly Paine Field. Unfortunately I wan not able to make that flight, but here is #ZA001 doing touch and goes. #787FT

The 787-8 looks so small now compared to the -9/10

With a reminder that this is 'related to a public engagement or event, such as a concert,' Sports + Aviation has provided this week's NFL team charter flight schedule. Six on Delta, three on American, two each on Atlas, United, or their own metal. jettip.net/blog/nfl-2022-…

Well then! Thanks JetTip for the heads up on the first Emirates A380 diversion for YVR.

Hi @TwitterSafety - are we still permitted to post - sports event = public engagement? We don’t want to be suspended after years of hard work to build a small niche community. So figured we’d ask for the masses. Thanks.

gonna lay low for a bit. we've worked really hard on this for a while. and just not sure what the new policies mean for non-blocked aircraft.

Do the Arizona Cardinals / Gridiron Air now own four of the former Delta 777-200ERs? Two more of them have flown as CXF777 - N861DA (VCV-ROW Dec 10) and N864DA (VCV-MZJ Oct 4).

N867DA has been flying the Cardinals around this season; N866DA stored at MZJ in Gridiron colors.

And, we’re off!

SOFIA is flying to Tucson, Arizona today, where its forever home will be at the Pima Air & Space Museum.

With its observations, SOFIA traveled throughout the universe, and the aircraft traveled the world.

I just deleted a tweet about UA running a charter from ORD-CHS for tomorrow's event. I had the wrong flight in the screen grab. It was actually a MAX 8 (N27277) that flew in, not a 738.

So I was mostly right there, but this version is more right.

As expected, the UPS peak fleet expanded over the weekend, with Kalitta, ABX, and SkyLease Cargo joining the fray. Analysis of flight data shows 27 wet-lease aircraft operating on their behalf so far this season. jettip.net/blog/air-cargo…

Three cheers for SOFIA, NASA/DLR's flying 747 telescope, who'll be retiring to the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson today. Track her last flight: jettip.net/airport/kdma/9…

Thanks to my horrific sleep schedule and JetTip Alerts, I was able to catch this Cathay 747-400 Freighter on diversion this morning from Anchorage.

ANC bound foreign cargo carriers diverting to FAI, YVR or like Cargo King with enough gas direct to SEA. Probably due to limited parking slots due to the ongoing snowstorm. FedEx & UPS with dedicated ramps continuing on for landing.

Smart flight alerts today at FAI, PDX, SEA, and YVR for Anchorage-bound freighter diversions. ANC is closed to inbound 777s and 747s (excluding UPS/FedEx) until excess snow can be cleared early Tuesday. Here are the diversions we've picked up so far:

Smart flight alerts from JetTip yesterday evening drew enthusiasts out to MSP to see this Lufthansa A340-300, which diverted in on its flight to Denver.
