Based on the 28xx flight number, I'm guessing this is a cargo flight.

I drove by the RFD (Rockford, IL) airfield yesterday and saw about 30 United planes parked there. They looked like mainline, but I didn't get a picture because I was driving.

Convenient parking near ORD, I guess?

Is there an advantage of E145XR over E145, or is each preferred for different missions? I’m ultimately wondering if UAX will settle on only the E145XR.

The 145XR is preferable in almost every situation. It has more efficient engines, further range, winglets, and improved hot/high performance. I’d expect only the XR will be flying for UAX once ExpressJet ceases operations in October.

I think see an error on the UX future tab. The N153GJ line also shows 521/171 but the note says will become N532GJ. As N521GJ is already flying, I suppose it should be 532/153 rather than 521/171.

N653CA seems to have moved from MLB to STL in May.
N612QX and N707EV seem to have moved from STL to TUS in June.

The CRJ550 program seems to be paused, which is not surprising.
