Hawaiian Airlines operates 24 Airbus A330-200s for their long-haul flights across the Pacific, serving destinations as far away as Australia and the northeastern United States. They’re also used on busy routes to the west coast in conjunction with their smaller A321neos.
Hawaiian has also been seen as one of the best domestic airlines in the U.S., offering what they call authentic Hawaiian hospitality on board.
As the final stretch across the Pacific coming home from Japan, Hawaiian's A330 seemed like it was worth trying out!

![WestJets Small Jet Problem
Calgary-based WestJet is going through a bit of a transitional period when it comes to their overall business strategy.
One big announcement that they made recently was an order for 42 Boeing 737 MAX 10s.
This upsizing highlights a bit of an ongoing trend for them when it comes to their fleet - lets see why that might be a problem.

![CROSSWIND Plane Spotting at NEWCASTLE AIRPORT! Emirates 777 and more [4K]
Newcastle International Airport (NCL/EGNT) serves the city of Newcastle upon Tyne in the United Kingdom, and is the busiest airport in North East England.
I was there briefly back in June on a particularly windy day and managed to capture some of their regulars, including their largest visitor, the Emirates 777 from Dubai.
Another huge thank you goes out to @JonathanWinton123 for taking the time to show me around his home airport and the sights of beautiful Northumberland. Go visit his channel for more plane spotting from Newcastle and more!

![44-YEAR-OLD DC-10 IN CALGARY! FedEx MD-10-30F Landing and Takeoff at YYC [4K]
On Sunday, August 28th, FedEx sent one of their McDonnell Douglas MD-10 freighters to Calgary on the usual flight from Memphis.
This marks the first time a DC-10 of any sort has been to Calgary in over 7 years, since Kelowna Flightcraft stopped flying theirs here in 2015.
Personally, these are some of my all time favourite airplanes, and what makes this even more exciting is that these and the larger MD-11s will apparently become a regular sight here over the next couple months.
So, my sincere thank you to whoever at FedEx made that decision, and enjoy the video.
