Two notable lounge closures this week. The only Alaska Lounge at JFK (T7) has closed, since AS has moved to T8. Also, the Admirals Club at LAX (T5) has closed, as Terminal 5 is undergoing a ($1.7 billion) complete remodel.

Watching what I think is a training flight (on an Atlas Air) for the new VC-25B during training flights to get ready for the new Air Force One at Austin (AUS) do a departure from intersection of taxiway T. Never seen a 747-8 use only 1/2 the runway. #AVGeek

Wow, it appears you can get from DFW to DAL, if true that is kinda nice. I have been in a situation where I flew into DFW for a conference and wanted to fly home from DAL.

I do understand the concepts of controller workload and dual-runway departure/arrival standards. BUT it is super inefficient to have this many lined up for departure, and an open runway doing basically nothing. A 737 burns around 120 gallons per hour with dual engine in idle.

Just saw this news. I feel like this has happened before, but still very interesting when a county changes the prefix of their ICAO codes, from UT to UZ.
