Hi folks,
I was on the Airside Tarmac Tour today (which was tremendous :p ) and on my travels saw 3 x UA 744's - 2 x at terminal & 1 x holding area opposite.
Do they have 3 x daily now or was this an extra as a replacement for a/c gone mechanical??
If anyone can shed some light on this I would really appreciate it :D
PS: Such a disgrace that Mac Bank have insisted on closing this fantastic tarmac tour....
Cheers :cool:

WOW that's cool!
I was sitting right up front l/h/s with my mate Andrew who is my neighbour & QF short haul cabin crew. We had so much fun!!
Now I recall you & the group you we with, hope you all had a ball.
Wasn't it just the best tour ??.... I was orgasmic :p
Going past that DL 777 was so majestic, she's brand new I believe.
Sitting between the runways & watching the QF A3fatty take off was cool too.
Loved all that eye candy :D
I wish I lived there....
Cheers,

I was on the Tarmac tour as well and was curious why there was an extra United flight.
I was also curious about the Delta flight. It pushed back from the freight terminal and then took off. I pressume passengers weren't loaded from there!

It's not uncommon for pax to be loaded at the freight.

....well after all, in some circles they are known as "self loading freight" :D
