Earlier this week I was made aware of the high-quality LAX webcam, and it's been quite interesting to watch: http://www.cargolaw.com/lax_webcam2.html

However, one thing I've been noticing is the Delta 744 you can see in the lower left-hand corner. I've watched this feed day and night, but that bird goes nowhere. Is this 744 "stuck" at LAX for some reason or does she swap out with another 744 during the wee redeye hours?

That is probably N663US which was just painted at VCV and ferried to LAX.

Guess they are waiting to work it in the schedule somewhere.

No airplane is stuck there. It must just be unfortunate timing on your part or an inop webcam.

Flight from NRT arrives at 0805 lcl, leaves at 1120 lcl.

12/10 flight operated by N673US
12/11 flight operated by N661US

What might be misleading is the fact that 68B is the gate they both have been using?

FYI, 6303 was ferried to NRT on 05DEC09. She has completed 6 revenue cycles since paint and actually just touched down in HNL.

Thanks see that now, flight 328. I need more coffee.

There is a gap in the acars, do you have handy the six flight numbers that it flew?

Sure do.

08 DEC 0281 NRT MNL
09 DEC 0318 MNL NGO
09 DEC 0318 NGO DTW
09 DEC 0341 DTW NRT
10 DEC 0328 NRT HNL
10 DEC 0329 HNL NRT
11 DEC 0328 NRT HNL

It's actually seven. smirk

On a side note, we should see 6301 push back in some few minutes. Flight is still scheduled to depart 1920Z.

From what I see on ACARS, looks like pax won't be using the seat to F/A call function on this flight. bitelip
