I guess I will do an all nighter if I want to see the game from New Zealand. I think it starts at like 2am Monday!

Urban Auckland, NZ at dusk about 90 minutes ago.

There's absolutely no reason for Transat to run anything across the pond this summer from YHM unless they've reached full capacity at YYZ or it is a block seat deal for another entity. Normally stuff like this is planned almost a year in advance so I wouldn't anticipate a Summer 26 program...

I'm having the same issue on the Discovery Princess in the South Pacific. The ship, like Saphhire Princess, uses starlink and it was ok when I was on the Antarctica cruise two years ago but as of yesterday I get the Forbidden Access message. Hotel wifi in Sydney worked ok. I'm getting around...

Nice. Spent 15+ hrs on Sunday on one. Not a bad bird at all and since Boeing has seemingly forgotten how to build aircraft it's a good choice by Air Canada.

Urban Sydney, Australia. From -20 to +31C in just two days. Harborside development at Darling Harbour.

Here is the site as of January 4th, 2026. I'm sure I have a better shot but no time to find it right now.

I've noticed a few online ads as well as sandwich boards scattered around Erin Mills touting this new development by Branthaven Homes. It appears to be the area immediately south of the Tridel sales centre. (lower left of the image below)

Nice easy to read format. I think the seat totals are a little off on certain days.

Interesting. For a fleet of only 21 active frames prior to the crash, I find it unlikely those wings will ever bite air again. Watch the next quarterly results carefully for indications this will quietly go away.

Perhaps we will see the airframe at vista cargo recycled at YYZ.

And that's the end of the trijet era at UPS. It was announced today the MD11 fleet will retire with immediate effect. Can a FedEx announcement be far behind?

This has been fun to listen to. This guy here landed from Daytona beach with six pax and was on the way to skyservice when they couldn't see the edge and dropped a main gear and nose gear off the pavement. It's a real mess out there!

That's the end of the January 10th series. Until next time folks!
