And here's a hopefully interesting bit of news......

The longest nonstop domestic flight to date in the world has now taken place.

The flight was recently operated by Air Tahiti Nui with a Boeing 787-9 and the aircraft flew nonstop from Papeete (PPT) to Paris (CDG). Usually this flight would stop at LAX but the coronavirus travel ban means that Air Tahiti Nui cannot stop in the U.S. for the time being. So with 150 passengers reportedly on board and favorable winds aloft, TN 064 flew nonstop from PPT to CDG in 15 hours and 45 minutes. Air Tahiti Nui has also stated they will replace the LAX stop with a stop at either Pointe-a-Pitre (PTP) in the Caribbean or Vancouver (YVR) unless the Canadian government decides not to let them make the stop at YVR.

Meantime, we now have our first cases of coronavirus here in Lafayette and we continue to take precautions. And I will submit a new set of quiz questions tomorrow.
