I saw that. According to planespotters.net it is there for maintenance....hopefully that's the case.

I want to get this one but at the same time I think I'll hold out for the eventual NG release... I am over the JC 737NG unless I get them for extremely discounted at the least. I think NG has me spoiled

Louisiana One is back and on the Max 8 now. From the picture I have, I can't get a reg yet, N8974K through N8976K have had their first flight, so it might be one of those? It'll be a little bit until the confirmation comes through though.

To PHX for delivery.
According to what I've seen on Facebook, it was due to come off lease and is going to another airline. Avelo, I think?

That's where Tennessee One went, not sure about Illinois One. I just noticed on planespotters.net that N8615E, N8616C, N8617E, N8618N, N8620H, N8621A and N8622A are all either stored or returned to the lessor...Illinois One is listed in maintenance since Sept 8th at SAL. According to flightradar24, it's coming back into service on October 18th...HOU-SLC.
