I wonder when things will get back to normal with flying. Not until there is finally a vaccine for the stupid virus. I don't know how expensive flying will get because of the money that airlines lost these past few months, but they can't double it or something because then NO ONE is going to fly, and what will they do then? They'll all have to close their corporations and airlines I guess. I haven't really looked into it but I wonder how many flights are flying and if they are getting a lot of passengers. I would think the airlines have reduced the number of flights. In the United States the commercial flights also carry the mail. If the airlines were no longer available maybe more mail would have to move by trucks or perhaps military aircraft. Maybe the postal service would get their own planes or use the aircraft from UPS and or Fed Ex. At the height of the pandemic in April and around then I was surprised how many planes were still flying in the air when you look at a tracker app or website like www.flightradar24.com. My local airport used to have one or two daily flights but it's like it's been only once every few days for the past few months, but I never heard a news story about it anywhere or explaining it. I just hope things don't go really all to hell for passenger flight travel. I know things will be more expensive, but I really hope it's not extremely more expensive. |

That flightradar24.com is a very interesting web site. I had never seen it before. Thanks Callie!  |

I always look at it when I see a plane flying over where I am to see where it came from and is going. |

This is a video of an Airbus making an approach to the airport in Rio De Janeiro. The information concerning the airline and model of Airbus was not provided. But the scenery is wonderful.

Today was cool because when I was sitting outside at a casual barbecue thing the people in the department I work for at my summer job were having I looked up to the sky and saw an airplane. It was a regular sized airplane (a jet airplane) and it was cool seeing it in the sky. It wasn't in clouds at all so I could see it against the blue sky. It's weird when you can see an actual airplane that is thousands of feet up in the sky. I could sort of tell it was a blue-ish teal-ish color near the tail so I thought it was a 'WestJet' airplane, and it was. I looked on my phone and it was going from Calgary, AB to Toronto, ON. It was going right over my city but I didn't hear the jets at all like you often times can when an airplane flies over. I took a screencapture of the airplane on the radar app I use and it says it was a 'Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner' and was 40,975 feet in the sky. The exact one below (C-GYRS).  |

The Dreamliner is a great aircraft. This airline did a wonderful job when they selected the colors and design to use for painting their airplanes. It really looks awesome! |

 Boeing Aircraft has announced that when production is complete on the current sixteen orders they have for the 747 they will discontinue making this aircraft. The 747 has been manufactured at the Boeing facility in Everett, Washington since the late 1960's. This structure remains the largest building by volume in the world. |

I didn't know they were still making 747 airplanes. I thought they were done a long time ago because I heard about them not making the 747 anymore. I don't know why, it's too bad. I want to be on an A380 one day and a 747 maybe too. |

I like this view from the cockpit of the pilots landing this Boeing 747.

Looks like 737 Max might start
flying again.

I have never seen anything like this before. Two airliners on parallel runways taking off at virtually the same time.

That’s a cool video, I wonder why they would allow two airplanes to take off at the same time in the same direction. I would think one of them would want to wait because knowing there’s another plane beside them and more people watching them when taking off so they could feel more nervous and make mistakes. |

I don't understand that either. It surprises me that the air traffic controllers gave both of them clearance to take off at the same time. |
