Thanks for the Heads Up.

I was up rather early this morning and around 6.45 UK Summer Time I caught Ethiopian's B787 headed north west over Wallasey.  On the radar that was.

Into Amsterdam is likely to be E from Manchester - bet it is cloudy and raining  .  Proboably next day as well. 

But hopefully won't be doing that all 2013 summer.

United changed flt number into: UA7708 for the inbound flight AND outbound flight on the 16th.

And yes it's raining here a lot as well 

And from 4 December we have a regular 787 flight so we will see it a lot.

UA7708 flight is cancelled.
