UA870 SYD-SFO Mon 27 Jan - why delay?
Curiosity questions:
Does anyone know why the flight went down the end of the taxiway to the start of 34L, then turn around and go back? I happened to be at the nearby beach and saw it.
Also, when it taxied back, it still had leading edge and flaps deployed. If it was returning to the gate, why would the crew leave them deployed instead of retracting?
PS. Mods - please to another forum if not appropriate for D&G (or ANZP as it's now called)
