Good day everyone! It's been a bit since I posted but I have been checking up on the news going on in the fleet as of late. Such a good sight to see the A321neo make its debut a week or so ago. However I wanted to ask a curious question about how they will retire the 717-200s and 767-300ERs (Hopeful...
Jump to postThat Sprint race was something else I tell ya. Max and Charles duking it out on the final laps in Imola. Today's race is gonna get real crazy! Can't wait! Also Mercedes is going down hill fast! It's a shocker to see the team down far in the grid after so many years of domination. Not looking good fo...
Jump to postLate to the party but my goodness what a race! Ocon getting his first win with Alpine, Alonso showing no mercy, Hamilton taking back the championship lead, that massive turn 1 lap 1 incident. I do wonder if Hamilton's ok? He didn't look well during the podiums. Also a big bummer for Vettel getting s...
Jump to postCongrats to Condor! Can't wait to see them in the air soon and some reviews come out about their product onboard!
Jump to postNot sure of this was the right topic to post on. But from time to time I would always go to the Lufthansa Fleet Group page on Google Sites to see what has been going on in their fleet. However a few days ago I noticed it was asking me to log in to my google account, logged in and seemingly it looks ...
Jump to postI wonder if its possible if Jerez would be a good Spanish GP replacement? Other than that so far the season has been pretty good so far. But I am most excited for the Baku Street Course, Turkey, COTA, Red Bull Ring, and Suzuka. All are pretty great racing courses.
Jump to postI wonder if Virgin Atlantic will ever have plans to bring the A350-1000 one day, it would surely bring a lot more passengers here in the Peach State plus a good sight to see the bird here (Post Pandemic-wise).
Jump to postI was checking out Flightradar24 a few moments ago and found an EVA Air 777-300ER flying in. Did they just started having flights from ATL-TPE? I usually don't come on as often as I had before but this is a surprise for me. Must of missed a lot stuff.... Here's proof just incase: https://flightaware...
Jump to postGood day everyone, do we have any news on when Delta will decide to return the 767-300ER/400ER to international flight soon? They have been doing domestic runs so far to most of the hubs in the Delta network. Excluding the A350 & A330neo, quite a few of the A330-200/300 that are not parked are o...

Jump to postDo we have an indication on how many 777s are left in the fleet and their location per WFU? I did see one 777-200ER on the North Side Hangers while I was picking up a family member from the airport. Never thought it would be that freaking huge compared to spotting on the South Deck.
Jump to postLooks like the 757-300s are back in action. Looking on Flightaware (At the time I speak at the moment) DL1237 and 1716 are both flying between ATL and SLC. Great to see the pencil back in the air!

Sucks big time that Delta is retiring the 777s at the end of the year. But it's understandable why they need to do with the pandemic still wrecking havoc in the aviation industry. This really shocked me when I heard the news. I hope they find new homes. Perhaps FedEx could be interested in those 10 ...
Jump to postNot too sure if this has been asked before or not. But is there a market for the 757s to be converted to freighter operations? I know that the 767s definitely will be converted since majority of Americans 767s are with airlines like Prime Air. As for the 757s, I know FedEx, DHL, and UPS have quite a...
Jump to postSome things revealed today: - E190/763 officially retired - 757A333 set to be gone by year-end. - ""We will continue to assess further reductions as we move forward," says American CEO Doug Parker on further fleet decisions." - "The levers to go down farther," says Ame...
Jump to postI know American announced that they will rid the 767s by the end of May this year, while the 757s will be gone by 2021 at some point. I know Delta or United won't likely follow this route, but there is any chance that they will accelerate the retirement of maybe a few of them since demand is getting...
Jump to postFirst post in quite a while. Is there any news on the American Eagle fleet? If I'm not mistaken I know Skywest is supposed to get 20 new E175s.
Jump to postB763 N395AN is en route from PHL to ROW for retirement. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N395AN Just a baby. Not much more than 82000 hours on her. Darn, and just to think they were keeping them until next year since the Max groundings. Man I missed a lot. I hope I can experience flying on one s...
Jump to postWelp, that's it. That's the end of the line for the Mad Dogs in American. The backbone for nearly 2-3 decades. Never flew one in my life, but boy were they awesome to look at. R.I.P. Super 80. Spotting will never be the same once Delta gets rid of theirs.
Jump to postI have been on FlightRadar24 for the past hour or so tracking the arrivals for the Super 80. Another guy that is posting on the AA Fleet Thread has been tracking them as well. At this moment. N9681B (AAL9626) is landing at ROW as we speak, with N968TW behind from STL.
Jump to postNot too sure if this was a charter or not, but I caught a 767-300ER (N1201P) from RDU-ATL.

Looking at those images, it's definitely game over. I'm glad everyone was not near or onboard at the time of this incident.
Jump to postMan am I gonna miss these shiny glistening chrome T-tails with the ionic red, white and blue stripes. Just a week or two left until they are gone. Time flies so fast you don't realize until it hits you in the back of the head.
Jump to postGlad he and his family is ok. Those pictures startled me.
Jump to postOuch. Hope they resolve the issue soon. That is utter chaos if they can't distribute fuel to those aircraft.
Jump to postIt's been a while since I posted. But as everyone said on this forum, do not let those ignorant self-centered trolls back you into a wall when you are doing you. The way you present your information is amazing and I can look forward to see what is going on everyday about the widebody movements. As a...
Jump to postVirgin Atlantic has once again switched over to the A330-300 on the ATL-LHR route, but this time permanently for the remainder of time (Unless they decide to change it or something comes up). Their final (And possible) scheduled A340 service was last week Friday on the 28th of June. I know VS are re...
Jump to postThis is great news! Congratulations to Atlas! Great seeing this bird having a second chance!
Jump to postWow, looks like there was an incident involving an Air France 777-300ER today an hour ago. One of the engines have went out and they did a complete 360 back to the airport and landed. I'm glad everyone is ok. Here is a FlightAware link on this particular aircraft. https://flightaware.com/live/flight...
Jump to postGood day everyone. Another sad day in aviation as we have another airline retire their final 747-400, in this case Kuwait Airways. I posted a link to Simple Flying for their article if anyone wants to read this article. I believe this is either the 2nd or 3rd airline to retire their last 747 this ye...
Jump to postA awesome accomplishment from Airbus! Congratulations to them and the A220 aircraft!
Jump to postG-VBUG was retired a month ago. Lady Bird is biting the dust.

Just saw this, I'm sorry for the employees who had to go through this. I have been hearing that they could save Jet Airways from their shut down but is still time to bring back Jet from it's death bed?

Looks like Air France is starting their A380 service today. Finally the Super Jumbo returns to Atlanta! Here is also a quick article on the Super Jumbo returning to Atlanta.

Don't want to look like a person who hits the nail on the coffin, but is there any source towards this information?
I know VS is pulling their A340 away from ATL-LHR route and replacing with the A333 at the end of next month. But out of EWR? That's definitely a sign.
Also I noticed on FlightAware earlier yesterday that KLM switched over to the 777 series of aircraft? Is there any timetable when we will see the beautiful Dreamliner again?
Jump to postHey, the old timer is just trying to have a time of its life in the first picture XD! Such a rare sight to see a 747-200F these days!
Jump to postGreat news for any Virgin Atlantic fans! They have extended the A340 service from the ATL-LHR route until April 30. There was a thread recently mentioning the retirement of the VS A340 will take place around later this year, not sure if it was confirmed but its starting to look like it.
Jump to postAny idea as to why ATL removed the smooth jazz playing throughout the terminal and replaced it with strange orchestra music? That I have no idea. But I always love going through the concourses listening to relaxing jazz music. Marta also did the same thing a few years back where they stopped playin...

Jump to postHave we got word when the next 767-300ER will be retired? (If this hasn't been asked)? Also what is the current status of the Oasis cabins on the Airbus and Boeing aircraft?
Jump to postNot another one... Rest In Peace to all that passed in this crash. My condolences to their families.
Jump to postGreetings everyone! So far tail numbers N140LL and N1402A are still in the air as we speak between Atlanta and Salt Lake City. In recent news the 767-300s are supposed to be phased out in early 2019. While dummy booking, I can confirm so far that the retirement seems to be around April 24th. I would...
Jump to postSuper stoked for the 777x! Can't not wait!
Jump to postIt seems as though the 747 retirement plan is confirmed. 13 will be retired from 2019-2022 and the last 21 in 2022-2024, with the 2nd phase retirements going quicker. I have an article as well mentioning British Airways retirement tactics and plans. Good read if you guys want to check it out. Here's...
