That 748F (VQ-BRH) arrived from HKG fully loaded before being dispatched to LEJ. There’s usually no load change involved in DME, so being a fuel stop only.
But how does this match to the „truth“ that VQ-BRH was bound for Cincinnati..?? Doesn’t make sense, right…
Was it possibly a simple mistake of the dispatchers/fuelers mixing up aircraft’s..??
