The aircraft came from where?
I was sitting waiting for my flight a few days ago and as I was tracking the incoming aircraft on united.com, I started drilling down on the ‘Where is this aircraft coming from?‘ link. I wanted to see far I could go (10 segments) and see where all had the aircraft been in the last few days. What I found was fascinating. Here it is:
Aircraft type: 772
Segments: 10
Cities visited: 6
Continents visited: 3
Longest segment: 6,921 miles
Total miles flown: 53,410 miles
Here are individual segments:

Cool! You’ve got London-LA UA935 on 9/14 in there twice though.
That’s a lot of flying! My car averages 30mph I think, but i wonder what it’s average speed is with those long hauls, ha.
And we wonder they break so often! Next time you are in London ask about the number of cancellations they have had in 2012 – a record number I believe.
@Nat Thanks for the catch. I have fixed it
