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

    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.

    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.
