No More Starcraft

[Zee71]

Today (5/25) I was hoping to catch the Korean Air Starcraft. It was due around 11am this morning according to ACARS. Excited ..... I headed out and took an early lunch. I listened to my scanner, hoping she would come in on 31R, but at the last minute they requested 31L. Unfortunately I didn't make it in time to Inwood, so a I pulled over and was able to catch her on short final for 31L. To my surprise, I didn't see the Starcraft scheme. I figured ACARS provided the wrong info. I then zoomed in on the tail registration, and sure enough it was HL7491 (the Starcraft). For those of you lucky enough to catch the Starcraft....congrats, for the others (Manny, Kaz, myself, etc.) that weren't lucky enough to catch her in good light.......oh well!!! Although, Manny and I were on a mission last winter and were able to get a few night shots of it. Here's what she looks like "naked"!!!!





Below is a shot of the Starcraft from last winter.

Bummer!! But Mark, you did not mention that the flight is normally covered by the 777 and the last week it has been the 747 on it. That to me is more curious ... maybe we can catch the British Museum scheme that seems to only fly Incheon/Los Angeles
