Hello folks, welcome to my plane spotting series in the ending of 2024 before we enter 2025. And as you can see that the 24.4 update was released Friday of last week. And thus, the Boeing 737 MAX 8 that I was so eager to fly since it won that competition with the A320neo despite that the Boeing 737 vs A320. So, being the Boeing 737 MAX 8 that won, the devs worked so hard to bring out that B737 MAX to the game that everyone hyped to fly it. And on the day of the release, everyone had a chance to get the feeling of flying that Boeing 737 MAX 8. Not only that, I also watched the 24.4 Premiere on Sunday and it got me worried about when that update was gonna be released. I’ve been praying 🙏 and hoping that it got released Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and there was no release. So I said to myself after seeing that the update got delayed, that I will not worry about that update and one day when I woke up and opened up that Facebook and see that the 24.4 update got released, I will be shocked in excitement to give that B737 MAX 8 a shot. So waking up on a Friday, there it was. As I hoped for Friday, the 24.4 got released and I finally was able to test fly that B737 MAX 8. Apart from that, in this plane spotting series, I spotted bunches of MAX 8s at STL airport Southwest Airlines and I’m looking forward to flying on it soon, which is doing my first flight on it. Moreover, I have spotted twenty planes despite me having the chance to spot that MAX 8 and also the Delta Airlines B737-900 heading to Atlanta 🍑🇺🇸 which will be in part 2 of this spotting series. Btw, I haven’t flown on a Boeing 737 MAX 8 IRL before and I hope I fly on it soon. Without further ado, I hope you enjoy this first part of the winter 2024 plane spotting series.
