Scheduled: Scheduled: 8:15PM
Actual: 12:54AM Actual: 1:32AM

Note: Diversion/delay due to air traffic conditions.
That's 4 hrs and 24 mins on the ground at STC. I hope those people didnt have to sit in the Saab the whole time, but fear they probably did. I can't imagine the shape of my knees after 6 hrs in a Saab 340!
