No Parking on the Runway Grass, Please!
United Airlines flight 2477, a Boeing 737 Max 8, encountered an issue after landing at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston on Friday. Following its arrival from Memphis International Airport, the aircraft deviated from its intended path during the transition from the runway to the taxiway around 8 a.m. local time.

Scorpion Stings Man In Testicles While Sleeping At The Venetian Las Vegas
During a holiday stay at the Venetian in Las Vegas, a visitor from California woke up during the night in pain. The hotel guest reported being stung by a scorpion directly on his testicles as he slept. He said it felt like “sharp glass or a knife” and there was a scorpion attached to his underwear.

Smugglers shipped goose intestines to JFK Airport hidden in Rattlesnakes. The customs forms for 1,966 cartons said they were nail clippers and pet grooming supplies.

United Airlines Will Fly To Marrakesh, Cebu, And Medellin
United Airlines has real claim to being the U.S. global carrier. They’re already the only U.S. airline flying to the Philippines – having launched Manila service – and now will fly to Cebu there as well (via Tokyo). They’ll add service to Morocco – direct to Marrakesh – and to Medellin, Colombia. Fifth freedom flying from Japan and love for their Houston hub make these adds even more interesting.
Oakland Airport plans to change its name to San Francisco?
American’s don’t know geography, and can’t find Oakland on a map. So the airport may be renamed San Francisco. And the idea is to… reduce confusion? I suspect it may be the opposite: confuse people into booking travel to Oakland instead of San Francisco. Oakland believes they have a right to the change because the airport is on the San Francisco Bay, while SFO is planning to fight this in court if it goes through. Who’s in the right?
