Anyone know if it is Ship 7005, the Soaring Spirit? This was the plane that had the special Olympic scheme in 2002 for the SLC Olympics with the skier on the tail. It is back in DL colors, but still has Soaring Spirit labeled on the forward fusalage.

Quoting RJpieces (Reply 4): Anyone know what time it is due back at JFK on Sunday?
Would it go back to JFK, or would it fly directly back to ATL? I would think it would go to ATL, then fly back over after the Olympics to pick the people up, then go back to JFK.

No, it wasn't; I was flying out of JFK around the same time and noticed it had the 'new' original widget above the doors. I believe 'Soaring Spirit' (N864DA) was repainted in the wavy-gravy livery earlier and has the Mullin 'rounded' widget.
Inicidentally, the flight had a minor aborted takeoff yesterday (it was originally ahead of us in the queue) and then taxied down the active runway and slipped back into the queue right behind us.

Any idea what happened?

Um, do I have to do all your work for you?
7005 is doing FRA, NRT, and CDG for the next few days...

Not to nitpick, but speedskater Bonnie Blair was on both sides of the tail, luger Duncan Kennedy was on the captain's side of the fuselage, and nordic combined ski jumper Ryan Heckman was on the FO's side of the fuselage.

Oh yes, I know its been repainted, but even after being repainted, they left the "soaring spirit" titles on the forward fusalage in grey. You wouldn't really notice unless you looked. I've worked that particular 7 many a time over when I was on International Ramp.

There's my answer. Hmm, you are good for something after all, B.

Skier, speedskater, your talking to a boy who is originally from Florida. She could have been a hockey player for all I know. What I do know is that there was someone on the tail dressed for cold weather sports.

Quoting DeltaMIA (Reply 15): MXP is also operating as a 777 until 17FEB for the Olympics
Operated by DL? The AZ codeshare is a 777, but DL 84/85 remains a 763. If you are talking about DL 74/75 ATL-MXP-ATL this is once again a 777. I think occasionally in the summer this one will go 777.
Quoting UpperDeck79 (Reply 18): What would the aircraft that operated ATL-CDG then do?
My logic is there are 2x ATL flights, plus 2x AF codeshare. Have ATL-CDG go 1x DL, on one day, and have the next day 2x CDG-ATL, shuffle peeps around as needed to fill it in...
