Boeing Tries Out Software Upgrade For 737 Max on GTMO to NAS JAX Flight, Says Takeoffs Were Flawless

In a bit of good news for Boeing 737 Max customers, the flight software worked flawlessly on the recent takeoffs from Naval Air Station Jacksonville, and Guantanamo Bay Naval Station.  Boeing reported no incidents on either takeoffs.  A Boeing spokesperson reported, "Well we are now confident that we can send the final copy of the software to the FAA for their review.  We tested the software on a 737-800 out of NAS JAX and Navy Station Guantanamo Bay, and we are pleased to report that we completed 2 back to back takeoffs with complete success."  

In related news the 737-800 out of Guantanamo Bay reported a rough landing at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba on 3 May 2019, and then the same plane skidded off the runway when landing at NAS JAX.  When asked about the landings, the Boeing spokesperson said, "We take the safety of our aircraft seriously.  We will participate fully with the investigation just like we did in the Indonesia incident.  We won't rest until we get to the bottom of this problem, but did you see those takeoffs?"
