A U.S. military-run body near Gaza that critics say failed in its mission to monitor the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and boost aid flows to besieged Palestinians is set to be shut by the Trump administration, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.The closing of the Civil-Military Coordination Center in Israel would mark the latest blow to President Donald Trump’s Gaza plan, already undermined by repeated Israeli attacks since the October truce and a refusal by Hamas to lay down its arms.Diplomats said the move, which has not been previously reported, underscores the difficulties facing U.S. efforts to oversee the truce and…
The U.S. Marine Corps has accumulated thousands of first-person view drones over the span of several months, with thousands more on the way, the service said Thursday.The meteoric rise of the service’s autonomous weapons stockpile was a result of a clear edict from the top down and service member adaptability, according to Commanding Officer of the Weapons Training Battalion Col. Scott Cuomo, who spoke at the Modern Day Marine exposition in Washington.“Rewind your brain to October,” Cuomo said. “We had zero FPV attack drones in the United States. We have over 3,500 right now.”First-person view drones allow operators to watch…
The United States is withdrawing 5,000 troops from NATO ally Germany, the Pentagon announced on Friday, as a rift over the Iran war widens between President Donald Trump and Europe. Trump had threatened a drawdown in forces earlier this week after sparring with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who said on Monday the Iranians were humiliating the U.S. in talks to end the two-month-old war and that he did not see what exit strategy Washington was pursuing.A senior Pentagon official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said recent German rhetoric had been “inappropriate and unhelpful.”“The president is rightly reacting to these counterproductive…

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far! I’m wrapping up my current trip today (which has been far too long, but also allowed me to spend some time with my dad), so I’ll be publishing my trip report this coming week, and I have a lot of thoughts and experiences to share. On the points & travel front, the biggest story of the week was Spirit’s liquidation, and my thoughts are with Spirit’s employees. I hope that they all find jobs elsewhere ASAP, as the airline had some great people. Other than that, we’ve seen some great…
Despite generally good weather around the country, Delta canceled nearly as many flights today as Spirit did… and Spirit didn’t fly. I don’t know what’s going on, but Delta is unarguably losing its edge when it comes to operational reliability.

Yesterday, Friday, May 1, 2026: Delta canceled 157 flights (4% of schedule) and delayed 631 flights (17% of schedule) United canceled 24 flights (0% of schedule) and delayed 815 flights (26% of schedule) American had a great day, and had…
This has to be one of the most unusual airport accidents we’ve seen in a long time. You’d assume this is an AI video, or something, because of how strange it is, but it’s confirmed to be real. China Eastern A350 badly damaged at Shanghai Airport This incident happened today (around 11:40AM local time on Saturday, May 2, 2026) at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA). It involves a five-year-old China Eastern Airbus A350-900 with the registration code B-324W, which had just completed flight MU5406, the 1,033-mile domestic journey from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU). There’s video footage of this incident…
We saw Spirit Airlines cease operations early this morning, after losing money for seven years straight, and filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy twice. It goes without saying that Spirit going out of business is a bit of a relief for some of the other airlines in the country that are losing money and struggling, like Frontier and JetBlue. Along those lines, JetBlue is wasting no time adjusting its route network, in order to fill the void left by Spirit, and hopefully improve its own economics. JetBlue’s crew base resizing gives us a sense of its plans JonNYC shares how JetBlue…
