I am busy with Lego's indeed, but only because my dad requires 24/7 care. So when I get a break when a family member helps out, I can go to the airport. otherwise I'd go insane sitting at home, hence the Lego hobby.

9Y-CAL should have rolled out April 6. Probably in paint if not on the field.
First UA B38M roll out expected May 13.

Thanks for all the well wishes. We are all hoping for a recovery to some kind of normal for him.
I've seen 4 Malta Air's so far. I plane taking my dad with me Saturday to check out RNT.

And Xiamen seems to be putting public pressure on the Chinese regulator to get the type flying agin. Interesting.

Anyone know which frame this is or where it was taken?
VP-CMA is at BSL and flew end of march in all white cs. N702F is at IND and flew in Feb but no pics found. The other 3 frames are all at GED being worked on.

Rob - I was able to verify with my own eyes that TUI is indeed G-TUMR

Not sure if they'll build a "replacement" 8703 or not. But that particular airplane will remain NTU by WN.

Thanks,. No reg here for the Shanghai or Kunming yet. 7944 will be B-20E3 60928. 8047 will be 9H-VUE 65876. When you see them, 8013 8019 8036 will be 9H-VUB 9H-VUC 9H-VUD and 8054 9H-VUF.
The 2nd Flair made what was probably a functional check flight at MWH yesterday. C-FFEL seems to be the reg, decoded from hex. Frame is another BOC cancellation, LN 7749. Might be flying back to BFI or RNT today as BOE107 if you can keep an eye peeled.The777Man wrote:With so many new Maxes destined for Chinese airlines, perhaps they are getting ready to start taking delivery again ?

Thanks for the info.

Name not yet noted on this one as it was painted at GEG then stored at MWH. I think all the others are known.
I wonder what's become of the Caribbean.
Flair didn't file today.

I was at RNT yesterday and did not see it anywhere. So it's either still in final assembly or paint.

First I've heard on AA wanting Max 9's or 10's

I read the same article and upon further research, AA converted 5 787 orders from the -8 to the -9. Apparently the author of the article didn’t do their due diligence.
