LOL at Avelo trying to hide the planes they are using for rendition flights from flight tracking apps #avelo

Flightradar24 screen shot showing an unidentified 737 on approach to KHVN

ADSB screen shot showing that the 737 is an Avelo that has been stripped of all markings for use in rendition flights

This beautiful Bombardier Global 7500 is currently parked at KBDL in Connecticut, unfortunately not in a spot that facilitates good pictures, but I still thought it was worth sharing. #bombardier #global7500 #airplanes #aviation #avgeek

I'm going to be making noise about Kipnuk & other devastated villages for a few days, folks. The YK-Delta is a vital part of Alaska & what this storm did to those residents is hell. The least we can do is save the Kipnuk dogs & support the Bethel Friends of Canines! www.bethelfriendsofcanines.com

Bethel Friends of Canines

Bethel Friends of Canines is a non-profit dog rescue based in the rural Alaskan village of Bethel. Not only do we rescue dogs in Bethel, but we also rescue dogs all over the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta...
