Things you don’t want to see when you’re trying to depart JFK: Aircraft lined up on 13R. #GrabASnickers

Anyone know what happened to Breeze 263? It diverted to JFK shortly after departing HPN and made a realllyyy weird approach to 13L, then came to a stop in a very busy taxiway junction. @blgranucci.bsky.social sent this my way.

A little morning #aviation adventure to start off my fifth decade…Vancouver Harbour to Victoria Harbour and back. First Sikorsky 76 and Twin Otter rides, plus 114th and 115th airlines (Helijet and Harbour Air). Excellent.

✈️⚠️ March 13, 2025 - Commercial Aviation / Denver, Colorado American Airlines Flight 1006 diverted to and landed safely at Denver International Airport around 5:15 p.m. local time on Thursday, March 13, after the crew ... More info in image. FAA Details. #AvGeek

A brief review: 1. Count seats to 2 nearest exits. 2. Have your phone in a coat pocket on your person so you don’t think twice about grabbing anything. 3. Have your shoes on for TO & ldg FFS. 4. Listen to the FAs & PAs. People survived bc the CRJ is a tough MF & they listened to the crew. #DA4819

What an adventure! This weekend we successfully completed a Boeing Yahtzee - catching all of their airliners, 707-787, in motion, in 24 hours: blog.jettip.net/boeing-yahtz...

It’s happening! We’re in OKC this morning to attempt an IRL avgeek challenge: catch each type of Boeing airliner, 707 through 787, in motion, in 24 hours. A #BoeingYahtzee. Plan: E-3/E-6 (707) at Tinker this PM, remainder in the Metroplex tomorrow. Background: blog.jettip.net/boeing-yahtz...

FAA statement on #7C2216 “The NTSB is leading a team of U.S. investigators, that includes the FAA and Boeing, to assist the Republic of Korea’s Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board (ARAIB) with their investigation into the Dec. 29 Jeju Air crash.”

One important comment about aviation safety: When the global air travel system achieves the incredible level of safety that it has through deliberate engineering and organizational safeguards, the remaining accidents are at the edge of the bell curve -- ensuring they will be increasingly bizarre.

I'm always grateful that we can do this all in one weekend every year. Makes it such a perfect opportunity for avgeeks from all over to come and enjoy an action packed extravaganza!

Save The Date for #SpotLAX2025! Join us for another fun-filled weekend of planespotting! Our friend @crankyflier.com will be holding #Dorkfest on Saturday Sep 13 as well. We will have more details about the H Hotel room block and individual events in the new year. Happy Holidays! #AVGeek

Random aviation photo of the day: Sichuan Airlines Airbus A320 | Taipei-Songshan | 2024

Hello all, and thanks for the follows! Like many folks, I'm not entirely sure what my plan here is yet. Except for an aviation photo of the day, you can count on me for that.

That raccoon looked terrified that it might have to fly Spirit.

We’re hearing that the failure that caused this outage has been resolved. Now it’s just a matter of clearing all the residual delays.
