Boeing easily beat rival Airbus in orders for new planes last month, but Chicago-based Boeing trailed its European rival in delivering planes to airline customers. Boeing said that it took orders for 31 planes in July while 17 others were canceled, resulting in a net gain of 14. That compared with two orders for Airbus. It was Boeing’s sixth straight month of positive net orders after seeing cancellations exceed orders for most of 2020. Boeing has reported 270 net orders so far in 2021. Brazil’s Gol ordered nine 737 Max jets last month and Dallas-based Southwest Airlines ordered six. Boeing delivered 28 planes in July, including nine 737 Max jets sent to Irish airline Ryanair. That fell short of Airbus, which delivered 47 planes last month. For the year, Boeing has delivered 184 planes, more than all of 2020. This despite the halt in shipping its 787 jet because of production flaws in the fuselage and nose. Last month, the company said it will cut production of 787s. Deliveries are cri

Russian Fighter Jet Encounters US Spy Plane

Sukhoi Su-27

US military officials said that an US Air Force reconnaissance aircraft encountered with a Russian fighter jet over the Black Sea last month.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told CNN on Thursday that the two aircraft came within 10 feet of each other on May 30.

According to the officials, the Russian Sukhoi Su-27 fighter jet, flying at high speed, flew alongside the US RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft at the same altitude, broke off, and shadowed the plane before leaving the area.

ABC News reported that a top defense official described the encounter as "an unsafe intercept" by Russia.

The two superpowers are engaged in series of military encounters during the past months.

In another similar incident in April, the United States announced that US RC-135U was intercepted by a Russian SU-27 Flanker in an "unsafe and unprofessional manner."


Meanwhile, the Pentagon released a video earlier this month about a “routine encounter” of a Russian warplane and a US destroyer in the Black Sea.

USS Ross (DDG 71) observes the overflight by a Russian SU 24 aircraft while both were operating in international waters and airspace. Ross continued on her mission after observing the aircraft return to base. At no time did Ross act aggressively nor did she deviate from her planned operations. The conduct of her crew has been and continues to be professional. Ross' Sailors observed that the SU 24 carried no weapons - wings were "clean."

The video showed a Russian warplane approaching from the distance and then quickly zooming past the American vessel.

Russian media reported the Su-24 aircraft forced the guided-missile destroyer USS Ross to change course when it was heading into Russia’s territorial waters.

The American destroyer was leaving the Romanian port of Costanta.

US Naval Forces Europe-Africa said in a statement the incident was routine and the warship never altered operations.

“Ross continued on her mission after observing the aircraft return to base,” said the statement. “At no time did Ross act aggressively nor did she deviate from her planned operations.”
