🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee. FIFA sources insist White House influence could not affect the decision due to the powers contained in Article 27 and the independent nature of the disciplinary panel.

From @TheAthleticFC: Folarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium with his one-game red-card ban suspended. Multiple FIFA officials previously said that a team cannot appeal a red card or suspension. nyti.ms/44KXAvR

@AlexHollings52 That's an interesting list to be making.

@JKealing Yes! Though, to be clear, I’ve only started searching and it’s possible that there are others I haven’t come across yet.

Sean Naylor is a consistently credible voice in this space, so I’m inclined to take this reporting at face value, but boy oh boy would I like to know more.

@AlexHollings52 Is that inclusive of as far back as WWII as well?

As far as I could find so far, only two pilots were shot down twice during the Vietnam War, making this Strike Eagle pilot a member of a very rare fraternity. In fact, I’ve only found 5 total U.S. pilots ever to be shot down twice (even spanning multiple conflicts) so far.

@kpottermn @Mike_Villafana @mspairport Yeah, it may be in the G8-G12 area. Hard to know for sure with the limited description provided.

@JKealing @Mike_Villafana @mspairport Is it that close to the central terminal? I thought G8-12 territory - but either way, not such a hike as the G18 club

NEW: Delta is making moves for a Delta One business class lounge in Minneapolis (@mspairport), public documents show. They’ve identified a 20K square foot space in Concourse G (near the new G Sky Club). Still veeeery early - probably years away. Kudos @JKealing for flagging

@Mike_Villafana @kpottermn @mspairport This new lounge is supposed to be more on top of G1-G6 area, not down by the newer G SkyClub.

@kpottermn @mspairport @JKealing Kyle, do you really think BC passengers with gates at the end of F are going to walk all the way to the end of G and then back to F? Or do you think DL is going to put most/all of these international flights near the end of G?

Cc @xJonNYC

The promised @Delta One Lounge at @mspairport is moving one step closer to reality. The airport has identified a 20k square foot space above the G Concourse for a location and is about to spend $1 million to evaluate its structural soundness and build out costs. cc @kpottermn

@plattMSP @Delta @mspairport @kpottermn Yeah, I don’t think the big growth plans are at all likely. But I do think some of the older structures will wind up being addressed.

@JKealing @Delta @mspairport @kpottermn I think most of the facilities risk is on the downside. All of DL's ambitions are in other markets. Sun Country is not getting any bigger here, and likely smaller. The ULCCs are waning. Unless WN/UA want to build up for some reason, you might not need two terminals in time.

@plattMSP @Delta @mspairport @kpottermn It’s all spelled out in their airport plan. It certainly may not turn out this way, but it at least gives an idea of the issues and when they might need to be addressed: mspairport.com/sites/default/…

@JKealing @Delta @mspairport @kpottermn E/F structures are 65 yo. Everything has been so heavily worked over that much of it is much newer, but perhaps?

@plattMSP @Delta @mspairport @kpottermn Yep. They plan to do the same with the E/D/C concourses as well. I admit though that one of them is due much before the other. I gather from their long term plan that E/F (the old Red/Blue concourses) are approaching end of life.

@JKealing @Delta @mspairport @kpottermn So just a continuous straight line from G22 to somewhere near F16?

@plattMSP @Delta @mspairport @kpottermn The plan in the medium term is tear down all of F and then merge it into and align it with G, which I imagine will necessarily mean rebuilding that whole node.

@JKealing @Delta @mspairport @kpottermn Replace the F-G connector or the G1-G6 pod?

@plattMSP @Delta @mspairport @kpottermn Agreed. It’s the logical, if inconvenient spot, especially considering the long-term plan has them redoing that whole area to replace the F concourse. I imagine that’s part of the $1M price tag too.

@JKealing @Delta @mspairport @kpottermn I'm sure DL wants that location due to proximity to international gates. $1m for a study is rather rich. Yikes.

The three most tracked aircraft on Flightradar24 at the moment are a trio of U.S. Air Force Stratotankers. Track: flightradar24.com/multiview/3edf…

Sounds like an Air Canada regional jet collided with a LGA airport fire truck.

@MosheYehuda I mean I’m not there. But on the tape the controller says “JAZZ 646 I see you collided with a vehicle.” And the fire truck he was telling to stop was crossing RWY 4 at Delta, while the Frontier is nowhere near Delta. So maybe, but the ATC recording suggests it’s Jazz/Air Canada.

@stevestgermain Pilots often will say that they plan for a go around on every flights. It’s the landing that should be optional until the last minute. Glad you’re in good and experience hands!

@JKealing Eeek I'm on DAL2603 that was rerouted in the video. Pilots are doing stellar.
