Jump to postI spotted a white 747 over downtown on final this afternoon (Aug 2) around 12 but couldn't get a photo. The tail was red and it has a white logo that resembled a target. No tail number but from what I found, it flew up from MZJ. Anyone have any additional info on this?

Jump to postWith PHX-HNL getting a 333 and a CLT-PHX run currently on a 332 (leaving PHX going to PHL), it seems like they're preparing PHX for more A330 service. If we did get LHR, my guess would be a 332.

At least regarding AA flying internationally from PHX, the antitrust immunity they share with BA pretty much assures that this was coordi...
