Holedriller , this is very interesting - thanks , checked flight on FR24 , non stop 10.5 hours . LA-STN. 8750 Kilometres 4725 N.Miles , a LONG way , sector , for a 737 - its seems over 1600 kilometres 875 N.miles approx. over maximum range for this type , check twice on Boeing / dvbbank specs for this type. Unless I'm missing something, being thick .. Aircraft was empty , no pax/cargo , 737 still on ground at STN , 16.33 BST. SO - It just jumped out at me , flagged , LA to STN. non stop a 737 ? .... 875 N.miles over max range ?
