Many diversions. The field was finally opened at 2335z. It's a mess down here. 27L is still closed. Arriving 26, 27R with a slew of Departures waiting on Hotel and Sierra meanwhile 35 arrivals are not helping the Local East controller with gaps to launch departures.

Numerous delays out of PIT tonight as well on WN. Last PHL outbound was delayed almost 2 hours and an MCO flight is delayed till almost 1030 due to the aircraft being held in PHL. As of 930p, the plane had been sitting on the ground waiting to takeoff since 650p.

I was on UA 148 from ORD to PHL, the emergency happened I think sometime while we were in mid flight. We held around harrisburg, then allentown, then finally landed in harrisburg due to low fuel. I saw the US 321, and a couple of 190s at MDT. There was also a comair CRJ from either JFK or BOS. The gate agent said 9 US planes diverted to MDT. They also said planes were diverting to BWI and I assume allentown. taxied out around 800 PM for departure and when we got to the runway us and a US 170 were not allowed to take off because since PHL reopened there was now a gridlock of planes trying to take off and land from 1 runway (27R). We sat for maybe 30 minutes finally taking off around 845. We landed shortly after 9 PM. Line of about 10-15 planes waiting to take off 27R and from channel 9 numerous planes coming into land. Basiaclly 1 plane land 1 plane then takes off. Our 630 scheduled arrival turned into a 9:07 PM arrival. Not a fun night to be flying in or out of PHL.

Quoting Stillageek (Reply 18): There is a shot of the plane over at the local fox website
According to that story, they took a long delay before leaving ORF... I wonder whether that was for m/x and, if so, whether it was for something related.
I can't decide whether I miss the tulip or the bowling shoe more

Quoting Doug_Or (Reply 21): there were no passengers, and ORF is a MX base for ZW, so it is possible that it was a ferry.
FWIW, the story says that it was a very delayed revenue flight (of course, this is the media talking about aviation, so I take it with a grain of salt).
Quote: A spokesperson said the jet was scheduled to leave from Norfolk, Virginia at 11:44a.m., but its departure was delayed until 3:16p.m. During that time, passengers were transferred to other flights.

The media got this one right, it was a revenue flight that ran very late with no passengers. Also it was just routing maintenance in ORF prior to departure.

The flight number is a giveaway there. They get paid by departure/completion as well if I'm not mistaken.
25 DingDong: Sounds right. There was a warning prior to reopening that there would be a ground delay program (GDP) initiated after reopening with a 3-5 hour delay
26 DingDong: Hey guys, the NOTAM I just pulled up says: A2058/08 (PHL 12/097) - QMRLC 09R/27L. WIE UNTIL UFN. CREATED: 15 DEC 02:00 2008 I'm a little surprised it'
27 KRIC777: I can confirm that PHL was a fiasco tonight! On my way back from vacation in CUN, I was on US flight 1762 (PHL-DCA, an A319) ....just as the doors wer
28 Etops1: i worked flt 728 phl-lhr last night. we took off at 12:10 am. a little late. landed in lhr at around 12 noon. at the crew hotel now.
29 PHLBOS: According to one news report, the flight number was 3918. I don't believe that it's an Air Wisky flight because the CRJ is in the OLD c/s. To my know
30 Saab2000: It was indeed an Air Wisconsin aircraft. AWAC operates 3 in the old color scheme. Thankfully, nobody was hurt.
31 EMBQA: [quote=Doug_Or,reply=21Tthere were no passengers, and ORF is a MX base for ZW, so it is possible that it was a ferry. [/quote] Not a Ferry Flight, but
32 Apodino: No it was neither. It was a revenue flight that operated with zero passengers. We still operated it as such.
33 Smcmac32msn: NEITHER. Its still a revenue flight considering the delay it took out or ORF.
34 Elcableguy77: Normally, when the flight is a ferry or repo, the flight number will start with a 9 (e.g. 9363). As that segment had a regular flight number, that wou
35 Saab2000: I thought there were three, but maybe only two in the old color scheme. I know which one it was and I'm not trying to hold anything back but I am not
36 Apodino: N406AW is also the other one in the Old Colors. FWIW, this incident happened on the one year anniversary of the Ship 470 in PVD incident, the hard la
37 PHLBOS: I remember that incident very well. It actually occured on Dec. 16, 2007 BTW. Old news archive: http://www.projo.com/news/content/st..._12-17-07_OP89
38 Cubsrule: It was 407... it's up on the FAA site this morning.
39 OPNLguy: Second one down at: http://www.faa.gov/data_statistics/a...reliminary_data/media/I_1215_N.txt
40 Gift4tbone: I remember that day VERY VERY well, and not a full year to the DATE, but a full year to the day, sunday. The funny thing is a number of us here in PV
41 PHLBOS: I only remember it because I flew PHL-PVD on US (Republic E-175) the day before (a Saturday morning). I returned to PHL later that evening on WN.
