The Economist has great piece on Arizona’s airplane boneyard and business model of nearby facilities that store, maintain, convert and disassemble planes: ▫️$5k a month to store single-aisle jet ($10k for larger) ▫️for disassembly, large jet (eg. Boeing 777) has >130k unique parts (~3m total including bolts and rivets) ▫️airlines need a “reliable supply of all these bits and pieces” or “global aviation industry would grind to a halt without them” ▫️all parts have to be certified and need a comprehensive maintenance history to retain value ▫️the most valuable part (and first to come out) is the engine (airlines mix-and-match used parts to max extend lives of their engines)…next removed part is landing gears  ▫️cockpit instruments “can be removed and reused in other aircraft of the same type” and “sometimes the entire cockpit is repurposed as a simulator for pilot training” ▫️avionics, instruments and hydraulics are sold or stored based on demand  ▫️luxury seats at front of plane re-sold to 2nd and 3rd tier airlines (or aviation collectors) ▫️the “least desirable” part of the plane is economy seats (just like in real life)…these seats have 20-30 materials and usually shredded for landfill  ▫️some carriers trying to do higher-end material for economy class (eg. Emirates has 14 tailors to “repurpose materials from its cabins into bags, wallets and suitcases, with proceeds from sales going to charity.” The Arizona environment is great for storage: “The sun shines for some 300 days a year. Humidity levels hover in the low double digits. It is so dry that the soil, known as caliche, hardens to a cement-like consistency—ideal conditions for storing planes, heavy things whose enemy is corrosion-causing moisture. (Interior Spain offers a similar climate and some European planes end up there.)” Older planes can stay in the air if smaller carriers buy them up (“A 15-year-old Boeing 737 or Airbus A320 may well find a post-retirement gig ferrying passengers around Africa.”) Richer airlines “prefer factory-fresh aircraft because of fuel efficiency and customer expectations”.  Another way for old commercial planes to stay in the air is to get converted to cargo planes. This adds 10-20 years (“Despite higher operating costs, second-hand planes offer better value to logistics firms than more-efficient but pricey new ones because freighters clock fewer hours in the air than passenger services.”) *** Full read here: economist.com/interactive/ch…

Spirit planes are heading to their resting spot in Arizona! ~70% of the world's stored aircraft are in Arizona, about 4,000 planes It has hot, dry desert climate – the ideal conditions to store, maintain and dismantle airplanes... and land is cheap

After dropping Chris Johnson's breakdown, I just have to say that he's a Day 1 starter for me. Also, I am so fired up to continue working through this draft class in depth. I think if I said that Kadyn Proctor, Chris Johnson, Jacob Rodriguez, and Will Kacmarek are going to be starters VERY early, probably week 1, most would agree. But you look at the rest of the roster and I can realistically see a path for Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, Trey Moore, Kyle Louis, Michael Taaffe, Max Llewellyn, and Kevin Coleman to ALL be starters. Caleb Douglas can be a starter in 3 WR sets. Chris Bell, I think can be a starter in 2 or 3 WR sets. Trey Moore has potential to be the starting SAM and could end up as valuable as anyone if he maxes out the use of his versatility and opportunities. Kyle Louis could be considered a starter in Big Nickel or Dime defense. Michael Taaffe, could end up the starter for arguably the weakest position on the team. Kevin Coleman could possibly win the slot job, but even if he doesn't, he has a legitimate chance to earn Return duties. Max Llewellyn is the biggest longshot but I also don't think either DE spot is locked up for certain. Pretty wild. Training camp is going to be incredible from a competition standpoint. With so many young players, Jeff Hafley running the show, and a conscious effort to change the culture and establish a No BS, hard work only mentality, camp may end up resembling a college atmosphere more than an NFL one(in a good way).

You REALLY wanna see what Miami is getting in Chris Johnson? Check this out. I loved the pick and yet here I am after breaking down all of his 2025 tape falling even more in love with it. This kid is going to be a stud, Day 1 starter, leader, and tone setter for this new era of Miami Dolphins football. youtu.be/-MwmNqZCRDk?si…

@Tino9322 put a ton of work into this film review for Chris Johnson. You're not going to find a more comprehensive review. Love the amount of detail and the real 'take your eye off the ball' approach Anthony takes in this breakdown. Check it out 👇 youtu.be/-MwmNqZCRDk

It’s been a crazy 72 hours. We’re currently representing 4 possibly 5 of the ~ dozen lessors that own #Spirit metal. Since being activated on Friday at 6PM, we’ve deployed 20 pilots to 5 cities. It’s VERY complicated. Just gaining access is a battle fought on zoom calls and WhatsApp channels.

Yea, Cornerbacks get paid mostly to cover and take the ball away, and Chris Johnson will do both for you, but he also brings a dawg mentality. Refuses to be blocked. Not afraid to hit. Takes no plays off. Those silent agreements when the WR and CB lock up together to look busy and take the play off? Yea.....those don't exist in Chris Johnson's world. If your assignment is to block him, you better bring it or he's gonna embarrass you

New images show some of the damage from Sunday’s collision between a 767 and semi and a light pole along the New Jersey Turnpike. I’m including a gash in the side of the airplane.
