Something wrong with the photo. Im sure United Airlines have different a logo...:D


But intent is still valid. Both UA839 and AA73 diverted. The others from LAX all arrived into SYD: DL41, DL43, QF12, QF18 as did the SFO ones.
UA839 took one look, while AA73 circled a couple of times before diverting
Weather in Sydney is rain rain rain

If the diverted UA/AA planes are a 787, then the pix is a standin, ie that pix is a 777.
No serrated engine end tip means it's either a 350 or a 777 in the pix.

Thankyou
How many other international flight have been diverted to Canberra
Think I saw a blue livery plane coming in just now but too far away to see what airline
