DC-8 and Qantas B744 in new scheme at JFK today?!?!

[wunaladreamin]

Well according to acars QF107 will be operated by ship EB, the first and only 744 done up in the updated scheme. Also, flightaware is showing a DC-8 inbound in about an hour. Consider the hatches battened. EGADZ!

I'm afraid that's incorrect. It sure looked nice here in L.A. today:

Shame about all that clutter, ruined my shot. :( Trackers are often unreliable.

You can get two ATI DC-8s at EWR almost daily.


I picked up E on LAX-JFK route today.

Great shot Josh. Again, I say SUCK IT ACARS!!!

[SengaB]

Why do you say "suck it ACARS?"

If utilized correctly Acars is extremely usable and very reliable.

The Qantas flights are a day behind us on acars because of the time zone difference. It registers that flight number when it leaves Australia.

Who is that for Bill?- I'm confused..

The ACARSD website logs all uploads to the Central ACARSD server in local time of the host. GMT +2. So we have to subract -6 to get the local (EST) it was recived. Since I have my aACARSD program(s) all the transmissions I recieve are based on EST or Zulu if I chose I chose to select that.
If you were to find my VH-OEE transmission thatw as sent to the main ACARSD site you would see it as the local time there.

Heres my recived transmission of QFA108 recived at 7:49pm local

My transmission that was automatically uploaded to the ACARSD server. Zulu +4 with +2h(Server time) I wish they would utilize zulu for their servers.
