  1. "United Flight Lands at Air Force Base Amid Severe Storms" by AirlineGeeks / Zach Vasile - United Flight 2078, a Boeing 737-900, flying from Houston #KIAH to Phoenix #KPHX found its path blocked by thunderstorms and few airports with good weather nearby. Exiting a hold for low fuel, it made an emergency diversion to Luke Air Force Base #KLUF. (That code always catches my attention looking like my last name.) Passengers bused to PHX. airlinegeeks.com/2026/07/21/un #aviation #travel #avgeek #weather

  2. KPHX operations are back to normal, at least in terms of departures. Quite the backup though. Looks like one of the flights on hold coming in now. 7/20/26 0438UTC #KPHX

  3. Outflow boundry in PHX.... (ie, very strong wiind)

  5. Maricopa County (AZ) Public Health

    Maricopa County Reports 16th Measles Case of 2026, with Public Exposure

    "...Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) has confirmed one new measles case in a Maricopa County resident.

    The total number of confirmed measles cases in Maricopa County this year has now reached 16, just under halfway through the year. This is significantly higher than the annual average of one case per year for the last 30 years. The continued spread of measles highlights the ongoing risk of local transmission during this outbreak, and the importance of vaccination and early symptom recognition...."

  6. I got a @JetTip alert about SWA8502 N8772M MAX8 diverting to Portland #KPDX. Interesting, ferry flight out of maintenance from Everett #KPAE to Phoenix #KPHX - SWA doesn't serve PAE but uses maintenance facilities there. Can we figure out the issue? As a ferry flight, it can't be pax. PHX weather isn't bad now; thunderstorms forecast later. Apparently not urgent enough to divert closer like RNO, SMF, BOI, EUG or SLC. PDX is not a SWA base. adsb.lol/?icao=ac1301 #aviation #travel #avgeek

  11. Here is a screenshot of lat/lon from aircraft plotted on a map.
    There are two #ACARS stations here, #KLAS and #KPHX airports.
    Using #nodered worldmap node and its heatmap to show traffic density.
    Ok, just added one from the UK as well... a single #ACARS #VDL2 station in this case.
    Keep in mind some of these aircraft will be using #ADSB, some wont <cough Elon /cough>.
