United 9797 and Redback Callsign
 
I'm just out at the mound right now, and United 9797 is about to take off - anyone know whats with the flight #?

There was also another callsign I didn't recognise - Redback...

Thanks.

Update - Just checked PlanePlotter, Redback 39 is RAAF King Air A32-439.

Redback 26 is RAAF King Air A37-426

And UA9797 shows up as rego. N175UA - could possibly be empty they are belting along at 526kts climbing through FL300

UA is possibly the Air Pacific flight

According to Acars Air Pacific flight 910 was operated by DQ-FJK, so couldn't have been that.

NickN 5th March 2009 03:12 PM

According to ACARS the two scheduled flights were operated by N122UA and N178UA.

The other aircraft was N175UA.

According to ACARS N175UA operated todays JFK-LAX-SYD flight.


N175UA Arr 0710 Dep 1416
N178UA Arr 0833 Dep 1542
N122UA Dep 1406

N122UA Must have been here overnight for some reason.

UAL9797 routed SYD-SFO.

NickN 6th March 2009 07:58 AM

Anthony was the extra flight due to demand? Or superfluous freight?

Stefan Perkas 6th March 2009 08:59 AM

Morning all,

N122UA arrived on Wednesday night at around 2100 after operating a severaly delayed UA863 SFO-SYD. That is the reason of the 3rd Ua at Sydney yesterday.

Does anyone know what "Central 49" is at the moment? I missed what the controller said to another plane? It was tracking to Mudgee.
