The two testbeds, known by their callsigns SCAN 06 and VOODOO 1, carried out concurrent operations in Eglin’s highly instrumented airspace. For three consecutive days, on Mar. 24, 25 and 26, two testbed aircraft, the Northrop Grumman CRJ-700 carrying the U.S. registration code N806X and typically operating using the radio callsign “SCAN 06”, and the Raytheon’s Boeing 727, with registration N289MT and radio callsign “VOODOO 1,” carried out concurrent missions over the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America). The two aircraft are extremely interesting. SCAN 06 is one of the three heavily modified CRJ700s owned by Northrop Grumman, the others…

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far! We’re just finishing up a ski trip to Europe with our older son, which has been very fun and very exhausting. I know content was a little lighter than usual this week, but things will fully be back to normal this week. On the points & travel front, this week long lines at airports was the biggest story, though that may finally come to an end, with TSA agents soon getting paid. Beyond that, United flight attendants got a new tentative contract, United made several huge passenger experience announcements, we…

Subscription Required By Scott Hamilton and Karl Sinclair March 28, 2026, © Leeham News: Oil prices skyrocketed this month with the beginning of the 2026 Iran War.

West Texas Intermediate Crude oil prices topped $100/bbl. Brent crude briefly hit $197/bbl on March 20. On March 27, Brent topped $100.

A month after the start of the hostilities, the U.S. Marine Corps is increasing its presence in the Middle East with the arrival of a F-35C squadron and the USS Tripoli Amphibious Ready Group.

I don’t usually cover these kinds of stories, but I have never seen anything quite like this… A JetBlue crew’s wild report about passenger ACARS (Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System) is the messaging system by which crews onboard aircraft can communicate with the operations folks at the airline on the ground. I’ve been meaning to write about the FlightDeck app, which lets the public see some of these messages, which are otherwise hard to access. Well, a Reddit post flags one of the strangest ACARS messages that I’ve ever seen, which involves a redeye flight on March 27, 2026.…

Ryanair is proudly one of the world’s most hated airlines. The company knows that passengers fly with the airline for the great fares and nonstop routes, and no matter how much passengers complain, they almost always book Ryanair again. Well, here’s a funny twist on that — a traveler is ranting about Ryanair, and is receiving approximately zero sympathy online (thanks to PYOK for flagging this). Woman shows up late for Ryanair flight, gets kicked off An influencer has taken to TikTok for a tear-filled 2.5-minute rant, which has been viewed well over a million times. She claims she will…

I must give the leadership at American Airlines’ pilot union credit for an extremely measured yet clear message to management… American pilots highlight management’s systematic failures American CEO Robert Isom isn’t a popular guy among any of American’s stakeholders at the moment, with the exception of the board of directors, who seem to have no issue with him. We’ve seen American flight attendants issue a historic vote of no confidence in Isom, and we’ve seen American’s pilots write to the board and demand decisive change. American pilots deserve credit for how reasonable and constructive they’ve tried to be. For example,…
