Eastern Airlines @ JFK December 4, 2018

This morning I was at JFK and there were electronic billboard signs for "Eastern Airlines at Terminal 1". Is Eastern (Mk2) making a comeback or is this now Mk3, or did I merely pass through a break in the time-space continuum?

Well we have a clear indication that the KC-46 does not have a higher scrape rate than existing USAF tankers.

Re: US Air Force Weather Information?

Military air bases have weather observers stationed there to provide accurate weather forecasts and observations. That is why they appear more accurate. Also larger civilian airports have weather observers in the towers for the same reason.
