This is quite the statement from Orlando Airport.

“Not received official notification from the FAA...”

Let’s hope the the 49ers can run through the gap against the Texans as well as this United crew, amirite?

*I don’t actually care who wins, I just felt morally obligated as a dad to make this joke.

Some are being flown to MZJ this week. And one hasn't flown since last February, but fortunately it is already at GYR.

Listened to the audio. Controller getting aggravated with Spirit 1300 after telling them to turn right 20° multiple times. More consternation than yelling, but not great.

Spirit was descending from FL370 to 330. ATC told them four times before they responded. Lots of static on their radio, fwiw.

You do a podcast together long enough and apparently you just become one aviation brain.

We’re going to have him properly mic’d for next week’s show. He has some thoughts on the A350F he wants to share.

Well @radarcornflakes.com nailed that turn.

The President also said he’s dumped all of the mix tapes in the trash and he'll leave Musk’s hoodie in the front hall.

This Swiss A330 was loud enough that I went outside to see the air and water show had started a few months early.

Air France 137K Heavy, Runway 28 Right, cleared for take off, stay with me for a turn.

Back in a minute, starting an airline.

Big money saved! Even without the 11% rebate (which you can bet your ass I’m going to redeem), this was about $75 cheaper than going to HD or Lowe’s.

The comments are also something... Gonna have to open up a new dropbox for Southwest. IYKYK.

We're about 25 years from a single livery across all airlines.

United’s aircraft identification bug strikes again. Here I was getting all excited for a second...

Hell of a notification Google Earth.
