Looks like a race, but these pilots are simply sticking to their paths with incredible precision. ✈️

Delta A320 and United 737 making simultaneous parallel approaches into SFO, each locked onto its own flight path and maintaining separation all the way to the runway. From the ground it looks wild, but for the pilots and ATC, it’s controlled, coordinated flying exactly as intended.

WATCH: VIETNAM AIRLINES BOEING 787-9 SUFFERS TAILSTRIKE ON TAKE-OFF IN MUNICH

This happened moments ago at Munich Airport.

Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787-9, registered VN-A867, operating flight VN34 to Hanoi, appears to have struck its tail during take-off.

The Dreamliner is currently holding over Munich area dumping fuel.
More details to follow.

THIS IS WHY PILOTS DON’T FORCE A LANDING.

Air New Zealand’s A321 was on final approach into Wellington from Brisbane when windshear hit in already brutal conditions.

The aircraft was seconds from landing. Then came the decision to go around.

In a situation where conditions can change in an instant, the crew had only moments to react. They chose the safest option and powered away from the runway.

The seventh 777-9 takes flight with #TeamBoeing for the first time. Test teams will prepare this airplane to conduct Extended Operations (ETOPS) testing.

🕒 Seven's first flight lasted ~3 hours with most of it occurring over Washington, Idaho and Oregon.

🌎Next: ETOPS certification means airlines can choose faster, more fuel-efficient paths over oceans and remote areas because they can safely operate at distances from diversion airports.

📝 The 777-9 test fleet has logged over 4,800 flight test hours in total.

The aircraft flew northeast over the Pacific, over the US and Canada, then across the Atlantic and south over the UK to Toulouse, crossing three continents and two oceans, with two sunsets and two sunrises along the way.

UNITED AIRLINES COULD BE EYEING BOEING’S “TERRIBLE TEENS” 777-9s

United Airlines may be considering the acquisition of around 20 early-build Boeing 777-9 aircraft that were rejected by their original customers, most notably Emirates.

These aircraft were built years ahead of the 777X’s planned 2020 entry into service. However, certification delays, extensive regulatory scrutiny and the aftermath of the 737 MAX crisis left the early production aircraft sitting in storage for years.

Now, bringing some of these jets up to the latest certification standards would require extensive and expensive rework.

Emirates has already rejected its first 10 777-9s. Emirates President Sir Tim Clark has described the early aircraft as effectively having lost much of their useful life by the airline’s standards.

Boeing has even scrapped at least one early airframe, WH00007, after determining that the cost of returning it to service was not economically viable.

Market sources suggest United may be conducting due diligence on roughly 20 of these early-build 777-9s.
Is this one of the biggest widebody bargains in aviation history?

BOEING HAS QUIETLY SCRAPPED ONE OF ITS EARLIEST-BUILT 777-9 AIRCRAFT

As first reported by The Air Current, Boeing has dismantled WH007 (Line No. 1611), the seventh Boeing 777-9 ever built, after the aircraft sat undelivered at Everett since 2019.

The jet, originally destined for Emirates as A6-EZT, even rolled out with its folding wingtips painted in Emirates' livery. Instead of being delivered, it was reportedly disassembled in late summer 2025 due to the extensive and costly modifications required to bring it up to the final certified design standard.

The aircraft later formed part of the billions of dollars in charges Boeing has accumulated on the delayed 777X program. Every aircraft built before certification must undergo "change incorporation"—a process of retrofitting already-assembled airframes to match the final certified configuration.

Boeing has around 40 already-built 777X aircraft requiring these complex reworks, and reports indicate that some customers are reluctant to accept the earliest-build airframes because of the amount of modification involved.

WH007 ultimately became the first known 777-9 to be scrapped before ever entering commercial service.

#TeamBoeing has taken innovation under its wing to chart a course from our original 737 factory in Renton, Washington, to our new "North Line" in Everett, Washington, ensuring every airplane can take flight.

📍 737 MAX wings start in Renton with assembly, sealing and painting.
📍 Once ready, they are transported by truck an hour north to Everett for systems installation.
📍 A new transport tool tilts the wings 37° with a hydraulic system — making them easier to carry on the highway.
📍 The first wings made the inaugural trip in June.

Up next: On July 10, our employees will run a relay covering about 40 miles (64 km) from Renton to Everett, and a ribbon cutting will officially open the new line which will expand capacity to meet customer demand.

An American Airlines captain accidentally broadcast the passenger welcome announcement over the ATC frequency instead of the cabin intercom, giving controllers and other pilots a front-row seat to the entire briefing. @AirNavRadar

After ATC pointed it out, the captain jokingly blamed the first officer, who quickly replied, "It was the captain!" 😂 He then added he'd be reminding the captain about it since it was "the first mistake he made all day."

Even the controller confirmed hearing the full announcement—including that the 49-minute flight might be bumpy—leading to plenty of laughs on frequency.

Our new 737 MAX North Line in Everett, Washington, is up and running. This fourth 737 production line will help expand capacity to meet customer demand. ✈️

🏃Now, we’re running too — #TeamBoeing is gearing up for a July 10 relay to hand off the baton from the original home of the 737 in Renton to the line in Everett. The relay symbolizes the strong connection between the two sites as they both build the future of the 737.

Until then, check out this sneak peek inside the factory.
