Today I was at church in Ontario and runway operations were on 26L and 26R then later shifted to 8L and 8R operations because of winds and the church I was at was right in the runways path. I was surprised at how quiet it was. I don't get why those folks over at SNA complain especially since I was a lot closer to the airport. On my way back from church I saw an aircraft that was green and white landing at ONT. It looked like a 757. I found it odd because I've never seen one of these before at ONT. Could somebody please tell me if this was the new Western flights I've been hearing about.

I pass by the east end of the runways every morning and every afternoon and I have yet to see a song bird landing or taking off. Bummer, because they wont be around long.

Well if this helps it came in around 10:30-11:30 Sunday morning. I don't remember exactly when but it was sometime around then.
I never knew that 757's flew into ONT and I was shocked.

Off the top of my head I can tell you that DL and 5X fly 757's into ONT daily. So there's a few that you can try to spot everyday as well as the odd equipment change on US/HP, CO, and AA every now and then. Hope this helps.
