Well, a number of freepers said the small craft was not affected by this; but I think they had to land. Helicopters are out too.

Or, maybe it isn’t related. Strange though.

Well, it's a big city with a bunch of communists in it. But that's not important right now.

I haven’t a clue about Denver, but the east approach to LAX has no air traffic that we have seen for over 20 minutes now. Generally there would be at least 15 aircraft in that amount of time.

Oh me too. I grew up on water. Basic water rule for boating, learn to swim.

That concept doesn’t work for flight.

My friends daughter will land in Philly at 5:30pm coming from DFW. Her mother was in a panic. I sent her this thread which eased her nerves.

I also sent her the Flighttracker link http://www.flightstats.com/go/FlightTracker/trackFlight.do

Yeah. I don’t know. Diverted where, and why? Might as well land at LA if you’re in approach. I don’t know what’s the deal.

FNC and CNN are back to yakking about what Hillary might or might not say tonight. :shrug:

There’s still no activity in the normal flight path over the AV that I can see.

For those interested, no jet commercial jet aircraft seen approaching LAX from the east for a bit over 20 minutes now. Did see one twin engine turbo prop at about 4k...But that’s it.

I’ll have a look. He’s scheduled out at 3:45 Denver time, so I’m not too hopeful. I should tell him to book a hotel!

I’m stuck at O’Hare so any new info would be great. My flight that was scheduled for 3:45 has been delayed to 4:30 but no new delays in a while.

See #172 if you have access to a computer for flight details or give me your flight # and I’ll see what I can find out online.
