Now on Cranky: RSVPs and T-Shirts for Cranky Dorkfest

It's that time of the year again! Here's our review of the first two weeks of NFL preseason charter flights.

Hello

United Airlines mainline flight activity right now compared to same time last week. Nearly 300 fewer United flights are currently in the air. United is currently holding all mainline departures at their origins due to a “technology issue.”

Lufthansa's MUC-DEN, DLH480, diverted into MSP today on account of a medical emergency; this is the fifth visit of a super to Minnesota, the first since 2017. Hoping for a good prognosis for the passenger involved.

London and Reykjavik are up next for Alaska Airlines. The carrier will fly to both from its Seattle hub starting in 2026. The Heathrow route will operate year-round and promises well-timed connections from Alaska and Hawaii, along with the local demand. KEF will be seasonal on a MAX.

Holy moly. The RSVP link has been live only since this morning and we have 347 names on the list so far. Giddyup!

Now on Cranky: It is Time to RSVP for Cranky Dorkfest (Yes, You Need to RSVP This Year)

Heads up for anyone attending #SpotLAX2025 and #Dorkfest

Spirit removed ~18% of capacity from DTW for September since last week, including killing off 14 route completely. October also has some cuts, but not quite as drastic. At least not yet. #AvGeek

Asiana's 747 freighter fleet has been spun off to Air Incheon, who rebranded themselves as AirZeta today. HL7620 has the honors of operating their first route through the US, flying ICN-ANC-ORD-DFW with AIH/KJ flight ID: jettip.net/airport/kdfw...

Smart flight alerts from JetTip at MSP clued in quite a few spotters to the arrival of this beautiful A400M from the Royal Air Force on July 11, 2025. Unsure of the runway assignment until the last minute, we arrived in position at the Aircraft Viewing Area with just a few moments to spare.

Antonov requested an exemption to operate a cargo flight with its An-124 freighter, carrying a satellite from LAX to TTS on 8 Aug for launch on 31 Aug. This will be the Boeing-built SNL Nusantara Lima (N5) satellite, providing broadband service to Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Nick from JetTip, along with Kid 1 and Kid 2, were at EAA AirVenture on Sunday and Monday; highlights included arrivals of the U-2, 747SP, VC-121A, and a surprise MiG 29! There was also the DC-8, PB4Y-2, B-29s, B-1, and thousands of other beautiful aircraft! #osh25

We rarely use the ‘commentary’ tag at @theaircurrent.com. It was time. AI slop fills the information void of Air India crash investigation theaircurrent.com/commentary/a...

"...and avoid the impression that Boeing doesn’t have anything more to show off in the static area than a 10-year-old example of a 21-year-old model of a 30-year-old airplane, featuring an 8-year-old last-generation cabin inside." Ouch-town-population-you-bro.gif But also very true.

Looking for further information now. There’s extremely limited @flightradar24.com data on #AI171. This was its last public datapoint, its first registering any altitude. Was operated with a Boeing 787-8.

Both of our FAA data streams are down; monitor status.jettip.net for updates.

I had some things to say on the history of women in aviation. colleenmondor.substack.com/p/28-a-femal...

I still think this is probably one of my favorite pictures of the Shuttle Program, of STS-46 (Atlantis) coming in to land as Discovery is getting pulled out of the OPF to make space for Atlantis. And its just the fact of the person walking by for how *normal* it all seems here.

Tag along as we learn about the gravel kit equipped 737-200 combis that connect Air Inuit to the far reaches of Canada.

Hello there pretty.

Air Inuit operates one of very few 737-200s still today. And it is a special one, Ina cargo combi config and the gravel kit for remote ops. This is going to be a fun day. #avgeek
