Is this correct? N26297 shows on FR24 as a Grumman. Also, it seems odd that UA would have two different 738s with a fleet number 297.

Thanks, Jose, that makes sense as N39297 will probably exit as a domestic unit and leave GUM with no change in aircraft count

N36280 exited IAH 2735/25Sep as a GUM unit.

N685UA (former N590HA), sked to ferry MCI-GYR 2709/13Oct for short term storage

My guess is about 33%. It looks like Polaris aircraft flew that route about 14 times in the past 45 days. There may be 2 more units in service by then, so I'd guess about 40% for each leg. Best of luck.

Maybe not exactly for this thread - but I would be curious to know how planes are maintained when put in storage. I would think if they just sit in a hangar, they are going to rust/generally deteriorate without some kind of upkeep.

Very minimal upkeep while stored. The Southwestern deserts provide the ideal environment, no humidity, hard dry ground. It’s like keeping the aircraft in a humidor, preserved for later use. Before entering service again there is a full maintenance check.

I'm seeing UA 2790 flight from SFO-HKG 10/16/2018, it's a 788. I checked flight tracker and believe it's N27901, is this aircraft due for any maintenance in HKG? If so for what?
