CDG Inbounds over the South Coast

[dca]

A good view this morning of some transatlantic Paris inbound traffic routing Seaford-Dieppe. AF083 leading the way with AA120 NW of Midhurst about to start decent. There was also the DL22 in there but not transitting mode S.

Whats the point of sending 2 B752's of COA to CDG?
Wouldnt one 777 be better?

Hi Jordan,

COA seem to be sending alot more of the 757's Transatlantic nowadays, I've seen them at LHR.

CO0019  To Newark, Nj, USA          N29124     752 14/06/2009 16:52
CO0067  To Cleveland, Ohio, USA     N14118     752 14/06/2009 12:26

But the 777's are used as what I would call the busy time for USA Departures:

CO0029  To Newark, Nj, USA          N57016     777 14/06/2009 10:34
CO0033  To Houston Int'l,Tx,USA     N77014     777 14/06/2009 09:35
