Star Alliance Aircraft 28April

[Lee G]

Can anyone advise which Star Alliance aircraft was in this morning?

I'm still trying to get a shot of the UA aircraft and was wondering if it was the one I saw while driving past the International Terminal.

Thanks.

Lee, it was indeed the United Airlines Star Alliance aircraft that you saw this morning. UA 839 was operated by N121UA.

Thanks for the reply Matt.

Do you know which flight it is operating out this afternoon - UA840 or UA870?

I'd love to get out to the beach to get a photo of it.

I believe that the Star Alliance will operate UA 870 out this afternoon because N180UA operated UA840 to Mel which means it wil come back as UA840 and depart. Someone please correct me if I am wrong., but I believe the flight is going to be 870 this afternoon.

[Lee G]

Can anyone advise if N121UA departed as UA840?

Hope so otherwise the trip to the beach will be a waste :o

[matthew mcdonald]

UA840 today was operated by N180UA in new colours, N121UA (star alliance) is going to operate UA870 to depart later this afternoon.

Matthew, Thanks for all the info. I did manage to get out there and got the shot - along with Tim, Benny Z and Morris B among others. Quite a little crowd for a Tuesday PM!:D

Thanks again,
Lee

Nice meeting you there Lee!

[Lee G]

You too Benny - great to be able to put a face to the name.

Hope to catch up with everyone I met today out there again in the near future.

Just a heads up for anyone interested as I believe N121UA is due into Sydney tomorrow morning working UA863.

That's correct, due to land at 0625 and park on Bay 53.
