People are hammering #SouthwestAir over a rough implementation of assigned seating, but ya gotta admit, this is a cool livery.

Didn't expect to see this today, and it's only about half, including a large number of CRJs from Mesa Airlines. #Tucson Intl Airport.

I went to the Gerald R Ford Presidential Museum this weekend. He was a good & decent man who brought honor and dignity back to the White House after Nixon's scandal. Precisely who we need today. That said, the signage looks like an auto dealer, not a presidential library.

I discuss Boeing's history of fines by the FAA in my new book, The Rise and Fall of Boeing, And the Way Back. As another notes, the size of the fines are merely the cost of doing business.
The Rise and Fall of Boeing, And the Way Back, described how the company fell from its position as the gold standard of aviation to nearly bankrupt with deadly safety problems.

Hard to see in this photo but this is the runway of the Simisiut Greenland airport. Quite the up and down on the runway. DHC Dsah 8-300 operates here.

New livery coming for #AlaskaAir. It's beautiful but traditionalists will mourn the loss of the face historically on the tail.

Second quarter results are in and #Boeing's turnaround finally looks real. Coming in September is my new book, which details Boeing's rise, fall and the way back. leehamnews.com/books/
