RAF Tanker RRR-9420 Southbound over Nantucket from Lajes..Assume some more Typhoons.
Will be landing McGuire on flight plan then onto Charleston. RRR9420 UK Royal Air Force Transport Flight Tracking and History - FlightAware
One Typhoon now showing as RRR9856.. Tanker dropping down fast to head to McGuire.
Typhoons staying at FL-260.. Thought they would climb high to go to Charleston.
Rene said these guys were using 337.275 as A/A on first leg to Lajes.
1429 local Ascot 9856 switches from VHF SIE to 281.450.
I lost him after SIE 133.125...

1254 local from tape DEVIL-91 at FL-260 with Snow Hill 236.825.. Guess a Road trip for a Jersey Devil.
Only heard the one but could be a pair..

Thanks. Thought I heard Devil but wasn't positive. Thought it might be the FL F-16s heading back home.

OT on Boeing 739 Max planes again.. Seems someone at factory hasn't been eating their Wheaties..
Seems also that Alaska 739 had previous pressure problems but Boeing said just don't fly it over water for now..
Aaaah!


There goes that Aussie A-319 delivery departing Oakland for Hawaii. That SXI delivery company wasting no time.
Must be a couple crews...

Interesting vid on that Alaska Airlines door.. Cotter keys eh? Sounds like bad idea to me.
Could be lockwasher under the nut in pic.
Nice video but the guy has the wrong bolts....the bolt series with the cotter pin are not the issue. It is the bolts that hold the fittings to the aircraft that were not torqued correctly _ or in this case not torqued far enough. These arrowed bolts coming loose cause the whole plug to separate from the airframe - the bolts holding the plug on the fittings are still there - its the bolts that hold the fittings on that are loose

Have to get the airplane in service or at least delivered to the customer - since they are now paying lease payments for it.
