A Flyr Boeing 737-800 is being returned to lessor.

This is not the Chinese balloon.

We are not expecting a spy balloon to reveal its location by transmitting ADS-B.

Can you guess the airport? #FR24quiz  Correct answer will be posted in 1h.

On this week’s AvTalk, @theaircurrent ’s @jonostrower  chats with @petchmo  about the significance of the last 747 delivery, Boeing’s future in Everett with a new 737 MAX assembly line, and why everyone should get used to the acronym “TTBW.”

The balloon wandering through US airspace isn’t currently a concern for commercial traffic as it is well above where flights operate. Most commercial flights operate below 45,000 feet, with some business jets operating higher than that. ✈️:

Not only does @gwleigh  take us behind the scenes at Arlanda Airport to see how the airport is run, he finds an MD-80 in the middle of the forest and solves the mystery of the abandoned DC-8 that has been parked at the airport for almost a decade.

We also discuss Airbus and Qatar Airways’ settlement of the peeling paint problem on the A350s and the smoothing of their surface tension. With A321neo orders back on the books, what happens to the airline’s -10 MAX order?

To provide additional clarity about what balloons are and are not visible on Flightradar24, we’ve updated our database entry for N257TH. N257TH is a standard high altitude research balloon, often released over the US and is not the Chinese balloon.
